A Splashwell Kit Installation

(This is not my boat) This pic shows the kit at the left. The telescoping end of the steering cable is threaded through the support tube and is attached directly to the motor with a clevis kit. The connection of the motor end of the steering cable is threaded onto the end of the kit (out of sight starboard of the splashwell) The length of the support tube is adjustable so that it can be centered with the motor dead ahead and the wheel centered as well. this was a first for me and not sure how I would like it but now that I have dry fit it I am pleased. Not too expensive either and you save the cost of the connecting rod.

Still have snow here in the north country

In the next post you will see the hardware, nearly finished polishing. Next step will be to drill/fill/redrill the holes for the hardware.
Here is the nearly empty woodshed, left side empty and right side has only about half a cord. Snow at right side is about 6 feet high, but today it is +40F. Sun is shining! Time to finish Nina and get her in the water (after the ice goes out!)

Cowl vent with his little friends, the cleats and chain pipe. All need a bit more polishing and small dings still harbor corrosion, maybe a job for a dremel tool?
