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
