Volvo SX - external steering??
My original powerplant was a 350 cu/in SBC -- boat did 67 on GPS with a Volvo/Cobra SX outdrive. New motor is 406 SBC dynoed at 512hp. Since I will obviously be exceeding 70mph with this combo, I want to switch to external steering. Can anybody point me in the correct direction for external steering with this outdrive.
Thanks
Boat: 1989 Starcraft Startron I -- 21ft
Note: when the steering is cold, it is a little difficult to steer, but boat is rock steady at speed. When it warms up, steering is easy, but nose of boat wanders slightly from side to side.

CB ,
Just out of curiousity , which engine did you originally have ?
The Volvo 350's have come in a variety of flavours ...260/270/280 shp etc ..
Good luck locating external steering .

The original outdrive was an OMC cobra. -- I bought the boat with a broken motor. Shortly after putting in a mediumly stout 350, the outdrive was giving me problems, so I switched it out for a Volvo SX drive. It was an easy bolt-in conversion. The SX drive is awsome. -- The boat ran great............just wanted it faster.
