Great news!! (Gene Wilder voice):It's Alive!!!! IT'S ALIVE!!!!<br />So I have started and ran my motor. Funny, when things are hooked up correctly, it works!!<br />My question now is for the "professional" shaders out there. The cable/steering hook-up is very close to the engine. When I raise the tilt for towing, etc, it strains the cable pullies the hte point where is starts to create a lot of tension on the rear sides of the boat. Loosening the wires results in hard steering. Is there a hinge type extension that I could install (or create) to allow the tilt to function properly?
