steering arrangement

Well if thats not the weirdest thing I have ever seen!!

Doesn't loot to safe to me! Just one of the hooks slipping off and you be up schitt creek!
Looks like the steering tube got all rotted and they did not want to change it?

Being on that jack plate doesn't help with it lineing up. If the motor is at the same height as the transom then why the plate??

wow, i would not run that in the water at anything above idle. super dangerous.
it looks like it has a clevis kit hooked up to a home made swiel pin extension. im not even sure if you can use your existing tilt tube it looks rpetty rusted. if you were to get a new tilt tube and a longer cable with the right link arm you could be in shape.

MJ, we put the CMC on to tilt the motor, nothing mechanical came with the boat, and, our backs are getting older,lol,
steering does work, it just gives a new meaning to RIGGED

CT, does the tube on the end of the steering cable double as a tilt tube?
and with the motor hanging on the CMC instead of the transome how does the steering cable get routed to prevent binding?

TIA

naw that after market tilt wont fit on the engine. you would have to get one off an old motor or a new at the dealership. also you should beable to go over the top of the transom then down to the tilt tube pretty easy with out binding the steering up. or you can drop 700 dollars and get a baystar hyd steering system.

best thing to do is to find another mid section with a working trim( should include a tilt tube), swap out what ever is needed, get rid of the tilt bracket, put the motor back on the transom, and make sure you have a decent steering cable.
