I'm in the final rigging stage of my 1988 15' Whaler.
I have a Bobs Machine jackplate and was given a Baystar Hydraulic Steering set up.
The Helm hoses and cylinder all work well as far as clearance etc.
The problem I've run into is the mounting pivot bracket that mounts up to the pivot tab on the outboard is about 1/2 a hole off as far as lining up with that plate on the steering cylinder. The cylinder I have is HC-4645H, and it appears from the website I need a HC 4648H. ( I could be wrong as I'm having a challenge completely understanding their diagrams etc)
My question is, has anyone installed this on their F70? And is one of the adapter plates that I see available applicable to my scenario ? I also see there is an 'adapter washer' . . . but that doesn't seem to be what I'd need to resolve the bolt holes being off by a 1/2 a hole.
Thanks for any support.
Also, it was after hours for Teleflex Customer Service so I was hoping to get a head start before Monday.
Once again, thanks for any support.
