Modified EZ Steer Rod


Recommended Posts

Has anyone ever modified an EZ steer rod to work around their swim platform? Boat I'm looking at has an I/O with a 3/4 length swim platform off the transom. I'm trying to figure out which kicker mount and tie-bar setup I will need to make this work? I'm thinking I would almost need a "Z" shape bent into the rod to clear the swim platform and allow the kicker to be raised and lowered via an adjustable mount. Is there enough length on these rods to allow for some drastic bends? Is there a better way to go about this?

Is attaching and detaching the rod during trolling an option? Seems like I would never be able to reach and attach to the main motor with the swim platform there.

Scrap the EZ steer arm ideal. Look into panther remote steering or something similar.

The whole idea is because the boat I'm looking at has an autopilot system on the main motor which I'm trying to utilize with the kicker. I suppose removing the swim platform is always an option too...
