Hello Ya'll... So... I've finished my 1973 Rinkerbuilt TriHull Rehab.
Actually, I've had it finished for 5 months, and for the last 5 months I've been getting screwed over by mechanics here in Indiana. I've got a 1973 Evenrude 50 hp and it's been completely rebuilt, both upper and lower units. And yet... it kept having the horn on the throttle go off EVERY time I fired it up in the water. (Within 45 seconds of running).
So... apparently there was a piece of the impeller lodged way up in the upper shaft... somehow.
So... now I've just got a brand new 50/55 MinnKota trolling for the center hull mount. Only need 2 more upgrades to be completed. 1) a convertible bihimi top...(custom make to cover all 4 seats) & 2) a new steering system.
So... My question. I have a 13' rack and pinion (its screwed) and want to upgrade to a rotary teleflex system. However I only have limited space under the (dash)... as many of you will understand... has anybody put in a rotary system...? And I heard it has to match up to the same ratio as my r&p... ie...3.0, 4.2, turn ratio, Anyone know anything else about that?
I'm trting to post some pics now. Thanks to ALL Our 3Hull Bosses
