just be sure to cover that notch since that'll be the closest open hole to the waterline. I'm guessing there are quite a few V20s out there with the cable hole notched back to the transom.

That's one mistake wellcraft made, they put the hole where all the cables and wires to the motor go not in the right depot, if they only moved it back four inches or bigger Getting the steering cable thru the tube is very hard

Question

Could you dremel or rotozip the hole bigger and get a bigger boot to cover the rigging maybe?

I did make it bigger ,I got the
rod In but I had to move the tilt tube as far to port to give me another 1/2 inch it was very tight but I got it then I had to move the tilt tube back in place that turned out to be a problem cause when I moved it to port the motor dropped a little so now the tube was not lined up, I had the align it to get the tube moving to starboard ,,, I was sweating but I got it. Now that I know how to do it next time will be easier Hopefully not for a long time When I first got my boat I had to change the steering cable and my friend andy came to help me cause I didn't know how to do it and he did it so easy it wasn't a problem, I wish I was in contact with him ,, he was good at fixing things And he never broke a sweat
