How to Add Steering to an Aluminum Fishing Boat
- 1). Measure the base of the steering console. Mark the measurements on the floor of the boat. Place console over the marked area and secure to the boat's floor by inserting the self tapping metal screws. The steering column is pre-attached to the console.
- 2). Attach the cables from the throttle kit to the connections under the steering column. The connections should be labeled for easy connection.
- 3). Extend the cables along the inside wall of the boat, from the console to the rear of the boat and attach to the outboard motor. Using the conversion kit for the outboard motor, connect the cables to the conversion kit. Secure the conversion kit in a convenient location near the motor.
