thanks mark, that looks like a good fix

Does everyone else get a full 90deg of travel from the motor.
I had to shorten my bwy quick connect system by about 2" to get it properly balanced/ even.
Now I need to get some more travel out of the steering arm.
So got that figured, just need to remove the wood mock ups and fab the s/s one for install.
Then I gotta mod a turnbuckle for the s/ b steering, so one rudder is adjustable., to eliminate the tow in problem.( as in mod above)

Oh and also removed a considerable amount of slop from the rudder assemblies already.

Seems like when you buy a Mac, they should come standard with a lathe and a mill!! :D
