"To clarify,in a situation like this ,what we do is install brackets(Pat.#154620) to replace the brackets that are on the platform,instead of running over the top,they simply run underneath,this gives the same support and also increases clearance for the tiller arm to swing back and fourth,cost of these replacement brackets made to your dimensions would be about $50,I am presently working on a portable steering system for stern drive applications to eliminate tillers,for boats with o/b applications there is only a control cable issue but this has been solved with a quick connect set of aux.controls(pat.pending)that are easy to install and very cost effective.For steering,most o/b manufacturers make aux.steering arms,or one can be designed for your particular application."

Are you able to post some pics or diagrams of your design yet? Gives me hope that I can actually fish and troll from my sterndrive boat.
 
Re: "I have designed a swim platfo

Hi I have a 1984 Searay with a full swim platform and wanted to know if you had a rough price for your bracket? I would also be interested in your remote steering system. I have a 265 Mercruiser I/O that I would be attaching to my Honda 9.9 4 stroke long shaft too. Thanks, Bob

"this is as close to mine as i could find online:

http://www.discountmarinesupplies.com/product.cgi?group=71388&product=92839

mine doesn't have the fancy tilt but i would think mine is stronger since it's welded together instead of bolted. Then just four large stainless bolts/ nuts and large washers fasten it to the swim platform. Takes about 5 minutes to remove and install. I also used the same idea for a marine grade plywood platform to bolt to the swim step for putting coolers, crab traps, bait buckets, etc.

It wouldn't be hard to make one. Mine came on the boat when i bought it so i don't know the brand name."

"Gentlemen,the bracket I have

"Gentlemen,the bracket I have designed is unlike any of the one's on the market,it wieghs approx,3 - 5 lbs,can be mounted to any platform or even a small step,it is easily removable,leaving only an 1/8" flush mounted plate on the platform,this eliminates the danger of tripping or cuts to swimmers.It mounts in about 5 minutes and can be stored on board any smal to medium craft,I would like the oppertunity to install a few of these s they can be used and shown off,they are extremely useful for the fishermen who uses his boat for family outings and for fishing with the guys as with proper installation it can be installed to steer with your tiller or even with your present helm(this is only available with boats with outboards right now).Please don't think I am a company selling a product,I'm just a long time boater ? mechanic with a product alot of us may be able to use,if anyone wants to give it a try,give me a holler and we can talk about setting something up,I'm not sure about price because each one can be built exclusively for each application,so let me know,if I can get them out there I am sure they will take off,I started by building one and ended up making 3 !!"
