i am going to try to get it back together by sunday! thanks tom for getting it to me so fast you are the man!

i guess im going to send it to you! 

I'm thinkin it would look cool on the Sanger!

 

shit that thing is nice, doesnt need anything   

I think you need to make sure your rack is under the helm, other wies steering will be reversed. I think thats how it goes, under the rack. Quick check before you head out to the water. You wouldnt be the first to have it backwards, I think three or four of us have done it including myself.

i think i might be missing something? so i drilled and taped a hole in the shaft 1/4 20  then drilled a small hole right next to it and put a pin to hold everything together i hope it works. i hate to  rig stuff.

STOP!!!!!!!!!!!

You are going about this WRONG! It appears you are switching from a Mercury Marine rack&pinion. That unit used a tapered square shaft. You Teleflex should be a tapered shaft(or is that one a straight round shaft I see?) with keyway. All you need to properly connect your steering wheel is the correct adapter(the tapered aluminum piece you show on the helm in pic 2). They are available at most any performance marine outlet. This page at Rex Marine should give you an idea of what you need. Steering adapters

I've mentioned this before, but these are the "extras" that no one ever seems to consider when pricing out steering changeovers.

The placement of the rack to helm will depend on several things: which direction the cable is routed from helm(left or right) and which side of the pump the cable connects to( a stock JC/JG connects on left, a stock JE/JF connects on the right. With a JC/JG style, and cable exiting to left side, rack should be below. With the JE/JF, and cable exiting to the left, rack is mounted to top side of helm.

Best advice is to check and double check that the nozzle swings to right when wheel is turned right and to the left when wheel is turned left.

I can't verify this since the Blue one isn't here. Can tell you it makes sense, but I know for a fact both boats the steering cable exits left but can't be sure on which side the blue one steers by (JC pump). The moo does steer by the right side of the pump, (JE pump).

Next week I prolly could.

  that would make sence! the new one has a round tapered shaft and the old one is square! the bad thing is i need it now so its back to  riging it. i want to float that thing tomarrow. ill be calling tom on tuesday thanks for all your help fellas!!

I wish I had seen this post earlier. You should NOT take the boat out rigged that way. Too much depends on the steering to take that chance. Lives depend on it. I hope the holes you drilled have not compromised the integrity of the steering shaft.

You might just call Rex Marine for that part. Pretty much guarantee it will be in stock. They should also be able to tell you if there is a matching bezel available for that helm.

got it all back together and it is smoooth i had to check to see if it was doing anything!! i hope i got it right if i turn the wheel to the right the nozzle turns to the right. ill get some pics up tomarrow

Looks good !
