How to select a Front Mount Outboard Steering System

From the order guide below select the system configuration based on: a) the number of engines, and b) the total engine power to be installed.

Select the adapter kit for single engines or the tie bar kit (below) for dual engines. From the order guide select the appropriate helms and accessory hardware for each steering station. From the order guide select the fitting and hose kits required for the installation. Note: for hoses add the distance required, in feet to the last two digits of the part number. Confirm that there is sufficient space available in the Splashwell (see below) and dash areas for the steering components. See WARNING.
