Boat Pontoon
Sunday, August 28th, 2011
How can I make a homemade outboard motor steering system for a Pontoon Boat?
I have built a 3 hull 8 man pontoon boat. It is 13′ x 8′. It has three hull’s and a wood framed platform 10′ x 8′. There is a tiki hut framed canopy covering the platform with 3′ high bamboo siding around the perimeter. There is wood framed benches running along the back and both sides. I have framed a 2″ x 6″ motor mount along the back of the hull’s. I’m thinking of getting a 8 to 9.9 hp outboard motor for it. I have not the slightest clue how I’m going to steer this boat. There is a 3′ low wall that runs along the back of the boat and the out board motor will mount about 2′-6″ behind the captains seat. How can I connect a steering system or connect an extension to the throtle where I can steer the boat? Please help?
get yourself some PTO cables, secure em to the motor bracket, you can use a steering wheel but youll only be turning like 130 degrees total so a lever would do just as well.
some people preffer a strait mechanical linkage, like steering on a truck, but for a little pontoon that wasnt built to have remote steering, it would be more cost effective to use PTO cables.
i wish i could post a drawing i just made… it makes perfect sense when you ’see’ it.
