[QUOTE="rgpemt, post: 199164, member: 5684"] So now that I finally full comprehend the tilt tube steering concept, I am a fan. In the midst of my tear down, the molly-hocked cable transom mount sloppy yuckyness truly bothered me. My problem now is that I cannot find one of the connector rods. The motor is a 1974 70 HP, and the transom mount gadget connects to the front of the motor with a universal type joint that was fabricated. I am not a super genius, but I think that I can fabricate one of those rods...how much torque could there be? I have never had problems steering the way the rig is now, but I want to convert it for cosmetic reasons, even if I have to buy a longer cable to accomplish that. I am going to try simply bending some threaded rod, double nut the end on the teleflex cable and then secure it to the bracket... Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
