YES.... but i have to work  :smile18:

 

[sturat]

good Friday morning to everyone! Got lights in the shop again... just finished assembling the pedal, about to work on my loader/intake...painting my fluidamper today, too.
Looks like I'm gonna have to build some type of adapter plate to mount the steering to my dash. I'm having a machinist come over next week to help out on alt brackets , adapters, and such. Anyone want to drink beer Saturday at my shop? :smile17:

Why do you have to fab something for the steering?

My old hull had a rotary steering in it....bolt pattern different, and hole size too big....if I use the adapter that came with the steering, it puts my steering shaft to shallow in the dash to mount the hubs and such....still thinking on that, was 7 beers down when I investigated..lol

Wierd, I had a rotary in my Sanger and went to a rack and no big deal. I did have to drill new holes but that was it.

Ya I found when I changed mine from a rotary style to a rack that it wasn't "quite" a direct swap. I lucked out & didn't have to do too much. I think I would have been better off stickin with the rotary style, that rack & pinion ain't all its cracked up to be. Not for me anyway.... I have considered seeing if it could be lubed some way & then put it back in.

Hopefully yours doesn't require too much "riggin".... :wink:

Reason I switched was the cable for the "morse" was gonna be in the 160 range and you can get the whole new rack and cable for less $$$

I'll see if I can shot some pics @ lunch.

That much? Damn! :smile13:

Mine the steering seemed stiff, more than it should be. Especially after I looked at some other peeps boats & felt their steering. So I figured mine was bunk & bought new. At the time I ordered, Tom did tell me that I could by a new rotary set-up for just a little more than what he was gonna sell me a rack set-up for. I went with the rack cuz thats what other peeps was running & the steering felt good on their boats. I think the issue with mine is that there really isn't enough clearance & the cable is in a bind right as it comes off the rack. Nothing I can do about that though.

One of those deals, I guess....

the rack is smoother but if you ever have to much bend in the cable, it becomes stiff and gets worse with age

Just finished sanding, detailing and speed-coating the loader...got the balancer painted too. :smile16:  Slow day week at work
