Not the best picture, kind of hard to get back far enough under the deck for a picture.

The silver metal across the top of the picture is a piece of angle Iron I added to the top mounting bolt to help strengthen the dash. I just had visions of someone (me) using the steering wheel to push themselves up from the seat and tearing the dash all up.

The gold / cadmium cylinder in the center of the picture is the 'rack' part of the steering system. I have installed this 'backwards' the cable is running around the port side of the boat. One reason for doing this is that the cable length is too long for the boat and it lets us 'burn up' some the length without having to coil the cable up somewhere.

Second the center of the column and thus the end of the rack is so close to the Starboard side of the boat that the bend in the cable would be very extreme. I had to swap around the mounting hardware, but its all bolted in nice and secure.
