Check out the Rex Marine site. It looks like an Impy wheel. This link should take you to their steering hub diagram.

It looks like you might need a steering hub adapter.

1st pic is the bolt that goes behind the   U joint assembly  and holds the flywheel on than the u joint bolts over it my question where can I find them and does it have a pre. Determined  length because this one has 1 " of threads and I need no more than 5/8 otherwise it will go past the crank and hit the block. 
  2nd pic is the assembly that came out the boat I bought nothing like what's in my commander is this home  made injanutiy

Honestly it should be inserted all the way in until it bottoms and pull it back about 3/8", that is where she should run.

Killer project.

It would probably work fine but most peeps run it before the fuel pump so water dosent get into the diaphragm  Of the fuel pump and rust up the steal pin in the diaphragm that pumps the has to your motor

Gots a question for you fellas my eliminator came with these swim steps !  My transom is like 3/8 thick seems like a bad idea to have those bolted to that specially when I way 200 lbs   Next question in pic two these or 1 of these was screwed on the boat with drywall screws probably mock up.   I don't really no I took them off DO I REALLY NEED THEM

The header will be in your back with the swim steps.. that hull does not need the trim tabs. If it does there is something wrong

running through transom headers. I'm more worried about pulling the bolts through or damaging the transom
