Yup, I’ve been quite pleased. Since designing this a guy has come up with a more sophisticated version of you’re interested in paying $140. Look up Tim Percy. My other vid on the channel shows the final design
This is the first I see this design and I'm not following how it is set up. I can't wrap my head around how that looping of rope turns the motor both left and right. Do you have a drawing or something? thanks . Nevermind - I saw your other video and I got what you did. Thanks.
Awesome. Just so you know, it’s still working great and I still have all the original components from that other video setup. I had it out yesterday for 5 hours without any issues. Only thing that has failed is the cheap Torqeedo steering triangle that is a very common failure point in these motors. I highly recommend the aluminum version sold by innovative sportsman.
Love your design but the video leaves me with questions. I want to do this for my wife's Outback and 1103. Are you running both steering lines on one side of boat, one direct and one through the Harken pulley?
Hi David, I’m running both on the same side. They each terminate on either side of the white handle around a small screw. FYI, I’ve since rebuilt this using black marine grade HDPE (starboard) and it’s a really nice solution. Still fiddling a bit with tensions and such but I really like it. BTW I’m amazed you put this behemoth on an outback, is the stern staying out of the water with all that weight?
@@ryanfrost7027 I used 3/4" starboard to raise up the motor bracket. That along with some weight distribution to the front and it is fine. Any additional pics of your setup would ne nice. Why did you make a wooden pulley?
@@davidwolf7351 that was sort of the beta version 2.0 as I was trying different concepts out. Version 3.0 which is almost entirely unchanged except for materials which I have stuck with now works really well....will try to get some more pics for you
Seems to be working great! I am going to do something similar with wood and see how it goes!

@@ryanfrost7027 awesome. BTW, what's the diameter of the disc?
