External steering on 10 Meter
 

I just bought a used Marine Machine external steering setup for my '88 10 Meter w/TRS. Does anyone have one of these installed on a 10 Meter? What brands do you guys have, and any pics on how it's mounted? I have been able to find a few pics in the classifieds, and some of them are mounted between the drives. I dont have my parts yet, but by my measurements I should be able to mount them just outside the tabs. Any pics or info would be helpful. Thanks.

Here's my setup. It's a 12M with SSM 3"s but it should help with ideas.

Obviously a 12 meter also but like he ^ said should work[IMG]http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...ps09fad75b.jpg[/IMG]

Sweet 10 meter! What power? Would love to see some more pics of your boat.

It's a 12M. Power is B&M 250 Blown 500 HP's with some head work, MSD Distributors and Ignition and Stellings. They dynoed at 698 HP and 694 HP. Planning and adding Super Chillers, I want to break into the 700's.

12 meter* my bad. Nice! What speeds are you getting now? I'm at 71-73 with 500ish and the big old trs hanging off the back. Can't wait for the day to upgrade power and drives. They sure do ride nice don't they!?

just took off two b&m250 blowers with superchillers and 1050 dominators dynoed at 780 plus with 5,and some change on boost 1995 hp 500,s selling as a package $5000.00 plus ride off my 1990 42 fountain with konrads,upgraded to 850,s

Really.. So $5000 for the blowers, chillers, and carbs?

yep,have way to many extra parts sitting around the shop sold the hp 500,s last week,and they didn't need the 250b&m blowers,superchillers,1050 dominators,flame arrestors,pulleys ,belt and tensioner$5000.00 firm for the package and actual shipping to your zip,truck freight 1 pallet the best price probably.or you could drive down to lake of the Ozarks where my shop is,wes,573-374-4641

Well the motors have just been put in and we are still in the test and tune stage. We have gotten 78 on the GPS so far, but that was at around 4500 RPM. When we had the motors on the dyno we got the best HP at 5600 to 5800 RPM. So I'm hoping for the mid to high 80's on our next test run. We are still searching for a couple Gremlins in the wiring department.

I got a killer deal on an Imco steering set up for my "10", had to mount rams between the drives because of low tailpipe location. It actually makes a cleaner look this way, I will try to find a pic to post.

Thanks guys, the pics are helpful. LFB and 12meter Joe, what brands are yours? Any of you guys install the system yourselves? I'm looking to do it in a few weeks, any tips or suggestions would be appreciated. I'm pretty sure mine will be able to mount outside the drives, right above/outside the tabs.

Mines Latham, and no, I don't have any experience installing them. Sorry.

Mine is Lathem also. And mine where on the boat when I bought it so I don't have installation expierience either. All I do know is to make sure you have the hoses hooked up right before you start the motor. I had the motors out when we upgraded to the blown motors. When we hooked the hoses back up to the pump we had them backwards and burned the pump up in a matter of minutes.

Ok cool, thanks guys
