Skool's I hear you, but the guy with the whaler had been running his XR2 that way since 1987. Hynautic also made a K-6 cylinder that bolts right on the front. This system has the same 4 bolts holding the ram. The nice part is that kit is that it makes mechanical steering adjustable and serviceable (w/o pulling the motor). Fix it once and fix it right

Re: CANT TURN !!
 

i do like the not removing the motor part for service part ;D. OMC makes one too. I've heard of them coming loose from the motor and loosing all steering ???.

Re: CANT TURN !!
 

Well, this thread might take 100 pages. ;D ;D
Went out today and hit three boat repair shops and found that the steering arm that I have is a standard size. I did find one that was one inch longer. But for $150.00 NO WAY !!
So I figured it must be something with the steering, greese dried up or something. So where the black Teleflex steering mounts to the tube...if thats what you call it ??, well on the teleflex cable, there is a big silver nut, well in that nut is a pressure fitting waher that I didnt know was there. Well I broke the Mother Freaking thing today and now lost all my steering.
Dont know what to do know. E-Bay is looking good right about now !!.
