adding a kicker to cable pulley steering on my starcraft.....

[tgp***]

I'm thinking of adding a small kicker (4 hp) to boat for trolling. I have cable pulley/steering how do I connect them?? Anyone done this w/ cable/pulley.

You connect the two motors together with a tie bar. The big one moves the little one. I don't think it matters if you have a cable moving the big one.
Iboats must have a tie bar for sale, check there listings.

If your handy, you can make your own like I did.
I bought 2 of these and a short section of fine thread stainless steel redi rod.

Made some brackets from scrap aluminum and put it on for less then 30 bucks.
Works great.
