Is This the Right Kit for My Boat?
Bull Horn type steering kits are by far the most popular steering systems for outboard motors as they are compact, robust, simple to install and require the minimum amount of clearance in an engine well.
Measure the narrowest section of your engine well – the bull horn kits are all 540mm wide plus they need a little extra room for the engine to turn so ideally you’ll need Clearance (C) approx 560-600mm , as the cylinder tilts down with the motor you need to ensure this has room in front of the motor both Clearance (A) & Clearance (B) approx 120 – 150mm . Measure carefully, particularly with tapered wells
