But it's actually ordered as separate pieces. Engine..... Control.....Engine control wiring..... Gauge or gauges .... Prop. Most dealers write it as a package... That way they don't list separate items and can hide markup. Will i need to buy gauges and controls? Anything else needed? Click to expand... Yes, especially if your switching from a Yamaha. They are proprietary to plug in. You may ALSO need a new steering ram. The newest technology is electric steering... Depends on engine.

The dealer figured out everything that would be needed. The smile on your face afterward comes free of charge! He did a perfect job with the prop choice also.
