Hi,

I have a 75 CC Lancer that has a VP outdrive. From my research it should be either a 270/280, all the markings are covered in paint. I am wondering if the power steering ram will work from an 83 Four Winns Liberator 201?

If yes what would be involved/pitfalls?

I have the Liberator as a parts boat. Already have the engine bracket from it on my 383 as using it for the Alternator.

I didn't think it would be that big of a difference as it looks to me like a ram that actuates the "tiller" of the drive? I would have to get creative with a bracket or try to buy one.

My mechanical steering is a "no feedback" system.

You would have to be extremely creative as they are completely different designs, manufacturers and transom shields
