steering arrangement

[zoso]

Is there a better way to hook up the steering linkage than this? previous owner jury rigged it like this, we added a CMC and had to rig an extension bar (you can see it where the bolts are not tightened yet).
also the CMC came off a 115hp and is rated to 130hp and we have it mountd to a 140hp do ya think it`ll be ok? its not wired in yet, just mounted.







thanx
