Shouldn't this be in the "Whatever you want to talk about
section??"

:biggrin.: yea really...I bet he doesnt have shorts on today,the pcs,parts is his new rootamatic steering apparatus.going with a single cylinder I presume.

Root heres a chart for mounting location (http://www.imcomarine.com/pages/orderinginfo.html#Mounting location) What I did was assemble the cylinder to the outdrive and to the transom bracket,put a level on it and marked my holes thru the bracket,no need to measure twice,check to see whats on the other side before ya drill.
