a steering system that has a ram from the back of the boat to the side of the outboard?


Taz said:Oh yeah thats were i saw it. There must be some sort of knuckle on the ram to allow you to trim the engine. anyone know anymore about this sort of steering system?
Taz said:are they bungys around the leg?
Jonny said:...with these, the motor is draged away from the trim rams on re-entry, then when you stick your foot back down, the slack is taken up like a slide hammer! Very nasty!

Glad to see your sense of humour is still intact, thought that might have been a little stiff.
