Stellings Box--Steering Questions
Hello Everyone...I'm hoping someone can give me some information.
Does anyone have a Stellings box with a single bravo setup? If so, could you find a part number or a manufacturer of the hydraulic steering rams?
I'm working on a top-secret project with a friend and would love to have that info. If no part numbers...how about some specs for the steering rams for a Stellings box?
Thanks in advance
Dave
Update: Looks like standard issue rams work with spacer blocks to accomodate for the box. Anyone have any part numbers or manufacturer numbers on their hydraulic rams? How about specs????
Suggestions to find specs?
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!

I used my std imco twin rams that were mounted on my transom by mounting imco ram ears to the box,boat had full turning radius and steering worked exactly like it did before the box,heres pics,Smitty

more,the ears are held on by 3 -1/2 inch studs,the only thing sorta cobbled is I left my original imco mounts on the transom but box didn't work well on my boat so it's coming back off and steering is going back on them. If you run them off the transom you will need serious spacers plus longer rams and you will lose some turning radius,Smitty

Heres a close up,if you buy the imco ears they have a stellings box template so you can install them in the right place too,Smitty

SHORTIE PICKED UP 9 MPH with a carb change to 24ol, and a guy with a 25 ol used a 3'' imco ex box and picked up about 7mph. artic said he lost mph and handling

Re: Stellings Box--Steering Questions
I have it raised an inch right now. Still breaking the motor in. Only about 9 hours on engine. I haven't even had time to tinker with the prop yet.
I hope to have some more numbers in the next couple of weeks if the weather holds out.
