Cool

Thanks for the photos Bill. Nice. Ya, sometimes steering linkages are a pain in the arse. When you put her all back together get yourself a "Steersman Nut". It allows you to actually inject grease into your steering cable. Prevents problems like you just had. If you're using her in salt get the Stainless one, if in freshwater the aluminum is fine. Not expensive... less than a large pizza with toppings.

I highly recommend remaking your transom into a 25 inch instead of the 20" you have there... But that will mean you will need a 25" engine or a spacer to convert your 20" into a 25". Just something to think about.

Destroyer,
Thank you for the tip! I am planning on rebuilding the transom to 25”.
