Outboard wasn't centered on the transom. i now have equal steering to port and starboard. Looks like the amount you f available steering is insufficient, but I guess all that's left is to take it out & find out before you start looking into a different setup
Maybe this will help visualize what I'm trying to say. Steering full lock in one pic, then steering detached and engine turned in next. As you can see, there is more movement available on the outboard end of things, and I sure would like to have that much more maneuverability.
So, I'm having...
I found a bracket and have it hooked up, there just
Isn't an adequate amount of steering within the system to safely and efficiently maneuver the boat in my opinion. Has anyone tried hydraulic? I'll post pics of what I'm working with after work today
Yeah it just doesn't have enough throw. Played with it for several hours using various adjustments. Has anyone converted these to a hydraulic steering system?
Update: got my hands on a bracket. Is the steering on these boats supposed to be mediocre? At full steering lock there is probably another 6" of travel left in the outboard to turn
Thanks guys I figured I would have to piece it together, I was just hoping that wasn't the case. There are lots of ride guide steering connector kits online, Any chance you guys would know which one would work? I have the clamp, it's mounted starboard side of transom. All I need is to connect...
Yeah that's all I've come across as well, but what is interesting is there is no holes for a cable on the port side motorwell. so its as if this boat originally came with the push pull cable type steering. I'm not against changing out the steering system as long as I can retain an older steering...
Hey guys new member here. I'm in the process of bringing life back into a 1964 Pacific mariner scimitar. On the back hangs a 1959 Evinrude lark 35, the 50th edition golden jubilee. This boat has a mercury quicksilver ride guide steering setup, and all I'm missing is a way to connect from the...
