Ed the bracket needs to be fabbed, I have a few shots of Bad Tats setup if you would like. Also if you are intersted I have a brand new "internal" Hynautic/Sea Star ram that goes in place of the Merc junk. External is better but this is much better than stock.

Call IMCO........

They have both the wingplate design and the saddle design.

Greg that is super news, I was told by a few it was not offered for the BH due to the low production!

More **** to buy!!!

Greg,

Just spoke to Imco and they said nothing available. Do you have a contact there that says they do have the part in stock ? Please tell who to contact.

[Greg Maier]

I went to their website and it looks like they changed the design of all their wingplates. I got a BH wingplate from them two years ago.

What about Latham or Marine Machine?

[FASTEDDIE]

Cliff,

I have calls into both as of Friday, awaiting response.

Eddie,

I know that Latham used to make a bracket for the Blackhawk, it was a cast aluminum unit.

Are you planning on mounting the rams inside or outside of your K-Planes?

I'm going to use the IMCO 10 inch stroke, 23 inch long rams and mount them outside of the k-Planes. Most big CIGS mount them this way. It is very tough to find rams short enough to mount on the drive pivot centerline but still stay inside of the k-Planes.

Ed,
Sent you some pix last night of my setup. Brett May at Hardin Marine is the builder of the Mayfair Spacesaver steering. 877-900-7278.

Eddie,

This is the saddle type of wingplate that I was talking about.
