mine is an 83 and i did not have to remove engine. the only nut you have to remove is the one on the cable, big long and silver & the nut on the bottom of the drag link that goes through the end of the cable.

I may be in the same boat this season, did you guys find a 17 or 18 foot cable was the ticket?
Mine is a 92

Yeah, post lots of pictures - I'm going to need to do this at some point. Got a fair amount of slop in my steering.

Default steering replacing

Hi guys, I am also in the process of replacing the steering in my 1988 V-20. It looks like I have to cut a panel under the steering helm to get the old steering helm out. Would I be able to use a 8 inch inspection plate or cut out for a 8X12 hatch.

Hello folks,I'm new here just picked up a 77' cuddy with a nice running 150 Yamaha 2.5 Max. And found a 76' v20 fish Hull down the road for next to nothin' . thinking of fishing one while rebuilding the other and then switching the hulls ....I'm a glutton for punishment I guess Anyhow the steering.g cable in the cruddy was siezed and is the 18' teleflex I was able to get it out without lifting the outboard but will probably have to loose the motor for the install for my 77'
