[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 346341, member: 3278"] Okay. The photo you loaded and sent to us is of a twin engine/single cylinder hydraulic steering set up. If you have a single engine this is not correct. But, if you have a single engine hydraulic steering set up then chances are it is a Sea Star system. If it is then the cylinder will probably be mounted to the engine and the bar that slides through it will be stationary. The cylinder will move on the bar. If this is the case then you want to look at what the bar can contact when the engine is tilted to the max. There should be something in the splash well or on the transom that the bar hits. When your engine strikes a submerged object the engine as I stated earlier will swing up and over the object. It will tilt up. Look for the contact point. Or, when you get it back...look for what they moved. They will possibly raise your engine one hole as well to move the steering up and away so look for that also. [/QUOTE]
