Hey all - new here and thanks in advance. Looking forward to learning from everyone. I have a 1973 Yarcraft Yankee. Steering is seized up. It has a rack and pinion unit now. Not sure if that is what was in it originally as the R&P in the dash doesn’t really fit. Does anyone know how I can find out whether original was Rotary or R&P? - Boat has original Johnson 70HP

So it turns out my Dad’s neighbor in FL is a boat mechanic and has worked on these a good bit. He tells me the original steering was a pulley system on these in ‘73.

Ayuh,..... Welcome Aboard,...... You can use the rack style, or the rotary style, as it only depends on what fits under the dash,.....
