You could replace the steering cable with a shorter, or if you can hide a foot or so of cable, get a splash well mounting kit, and mount the steering cable to where it comes out on the starboard side, then it attaches straight to the front of the motor. Will probably cost around $150 for the parts I would say to do this, ( plus a cable if yours is too long ) Let me know if you want me to price the parts for you. |
