Also by stick steering are you referring to the push pull cable steering that mounts to the transom in stead of running through the motor bracket tilt tube? See image below.

Just as much room in the boat as a tiller model only you can steer from the front.. Now, which way do I move the stick to turn to Port? Edited by Joe Kriz on 10/04/07 - 11:31 AM

That little "Whaler" is "COOL" ! I had the steering knuckle in the pic on my old 48spl with a steering wheel. mw

I had a stick steer on my 'ol Ouchita and used to get so confused when Mr. Cypress Stump magically appeared that I constructed some wood to mount the steering stick latitudinally. I gotta follow the KISS rule concerning that system! Nice find Wharfrat! That is a peach of a find. I am new to this site and am learning more every day. Great pics Joe ! Getting that rare bird back to spec is a very worthwhile effort so be patient and GOOD LUCK !! Paul
