Default External Steering

Wake up out there in Searay land.

Has anyone ever added external steering to a Pachanga?
I was wondering if there is enough room. With so much space used for the exhaust, I don't know if the rams would have enough space to travel.

I was thinking about the dynamics there, found a pic of a setup that seems like it would be feasible.



I would guess the space between the drives should be roughly the same. Of course I am no pro, someone else may chime in with more info.

I would think it would be possible... might just have to keep the rams inside the drives as that picture shows. Guess you saved all that gas money since the river was flooded this summer? Ha, I've got a buddy adding external steering to his older Top Gun as we speak. I don't think it's a huge job.

Yes I did save money on gas, but I paid for two slips, one in Blair that is wiped off the map, Dodge Park which is having a meeting Saturday about how to pay for 2.5 million dollars damage. I ended up buying a third, a land slip at Branched Oaks lake. Put the boat in, putted out to the middle and watched the sail boats go by
