Hi everyone, I am attempting to help my brother resolve a steering problem he has on his 17' Mark Twain / 85 Evinrude. He installed an aftermarket power trim/lift unit and in doing so, has set the engine back away from the transom in such a way that it has changed the alignment of the steering cable / rod and has put the steering in a serious bind. It looks as if the bracket on the front of the engine will need to be extended forward to correct this however it seems that doing so will decrease the amount the engine can be raised due to the angle of the splash tray which slopes back toward the engine. Have any of you ever encountered this? I am wondering if there is a kit available to correct this?? Thanks for any suggestions! Much appreciated!
