I wondered what front drive setup that was?
Guess seawater pumps cam driven.
Also hydraulic cylinders on transom, but I see no steering pumps??
Why the need for 2 tie bars also?

The 2nd tiebar on the steering is likely (only guessing here) to keep the push/pull effect of the steering rams equal on each drive

The boat will have an old school hydraulic pump in the helm... All manual input with no assist (obviously)... Think of early o/b skaters

An outboard hydraulic setup.
Never knew they used them on sterndrive boats.

Actually Howard Arneson's first boat using the prototype Surface drive. I think this is the only photo of the boat. Powered with a Crusader Marine 350 Chevy.

I have never seen this type set up? I was told the engine stuff is jet boat type stuff? No belts anywhere, water pump off cam, alternator off crank. The steering I have no idea except I don’t like it lol. I am changing that this winter. Going to redo the transom, stringers and modernize the interior and stereo. I will leave the motor setup, it really works well and is something different!

So you'll have to add a hydraulic helm, lines to it, pump, and reservoir.
The pump situation might get difficult if there isn't any access to get a belt to your steering pump with your existing front drive setup.
Guess there isn't even a lower pulley?

Well as speicher lane said, the steering has no power assist. My guess is that's your issue with it?

But I picked up this Tub for next to nothing and will be starting a rehab this winter. Prob 16-18'. Some sort of Chevy V8 and Jet drive.
I have seen a bad pic of one that was in a Bond movie and trying to figure out which movie so I can some get paint ideas.
Probably early 60s. and the name on it is JEW CANOE lol. Some say change it- I say Bad Luck.
Any Bond fanatics that might know which one? Already watched Dr No and found out you can't even get old Bond movies free on steaming that I can find. Hmmmm
