Just got a 2008 Yam 90 2 stroke. Noticed that the boat has more steerage going to port then starboard. Checked it out and the steering rod seems too short. When steering to port the engine will turn until to the stops (on the engine). When steering to starboard steering cable fully retracts into the steering tube before the engine hits the stops (on the engine). Hope I explained this clearly???
It looks like I need a longer steering rod link. (see picture) I have about an inch or so left in the steering tube. With a link an inch longer this should turn the engine fully in both directions. (stop to stop)
Question - Where can I get different lenghth steering rods. Searching the net I only see the part # 688-61351-10-00 in one length.
Any ideas?
