Have you considered how loud those two old RD’s are going to be? To each his own I guess.
Anyhow, I’m posting this tie bar kit so you can see the concept. It is for rope and pulley systems so won’t work on your Teleflex push-pull. But notice the bend in the tie bar. That is the secret to allow the moors to tilt individually. Having said that, I gotta tell you that making it work correctly with push-pull will be a nightmare with a single engine, much less with duals. Yeah, you can make it work, but you won’t like it —at least most people won’t. The geometry and rod travel is all wrong.
The video doesn’t do it justice. It sounded like a WWII bomber and rattled every rivet in the boat, but what a ride. I had a smile for a week.
Wbeaton I’ve seen that video and you’re right those motors have quite the hum to them, and before I started this project I knew they were noisy and smelly motors but that’s why I love them. And I’m putting flotation foam and a small amount of sound deadening material to help with the echo and rattle in the boat, can’t wait to be screaming across the water this summer. I figure they’ll move a 16ft closed bow pretty quick and if not I’ve got an extra RD-14 that’s a good runner already😛
