O/B Steering Geometry
Has anyone noticed when hooking up linkages on an outboard (K/B in my case) they dont line up when you turn it left or right?
I have a problem with mine and I dont know the answer.
Straight ahead, both links are the right length.
Turn the motor left or right with one side of the linkage off, and its way off the hole.
I am sure this has to do with the pivot point on the motor vs. the steering arm, plus the double servo arm hole to hole spacing is narrower than the steering arm on the motor.
Cable steering in a boat usually has a heavy spring incorporated into the steering cable to compensate for this.
Any suggestions or will I have to keep hearing my servo crunch?
