I'm in the process of fabricating an EZ steer from my Alpha 1 to my 9.9 kicker. The mount on the kicker is dead simple but I am scratching my head on options for the drive side. There are 4 12 sided bolts holding the top of the upper gear housing on but their position is not optimal and they are hard to get to. Any suggestions on what I can fabricate to go on this side. For the most part, the drive will be in the down position while the kicker is in use, the kicker is on a swing up mount that allows it to move up and down about 8" (from the storage to the run position).
I've done a bit of googling to no avail, I'd hate to mess up a sweet drive by mislocating the mount. I think if I do this right, I can just connect the mounts with either 1/2 stainless tubing (from my work) or a fairly rigid plastic rod that can float and never rust...I'm getting ahead of myself until I sort out the mount.
Any suggestions (and pics pls) are appreciated
