I'm in the process of trying to use a mercruiser power assist ram on my kicker motor. I've got my electric pump and everything but CAN NOT for the life of me get a clear answer on what kind of fittings I need to connect to the ram unit with. It's the newer style ram(cannot get pics to upload off my phone for some reason) any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

You got new territory going on here. Your going to need a longer steering arm and a way to secure the ram to the hull

It won't mount exactly there. But I have all that figured out. Just not these fittings lol. I can build the hydraulic hoses at work if I can find em.

This is the boat it's going on. The kicker is used for driving around while fishing and is controlled by the steer stick up front.
