    Great job Captain for showing us options. I do get a kick out of some of the critics. I work with a lot of Engineers that think it only works their way, till some of us prove them wrong. Looking forward to seeing the 225 pushing the crooked pilothouse to Bahamas again. Happy Navigating

      This isnt a matter of someone elses way, it has everything to do with safety, this individual now has minimized steering rather than maximized steering. With the money he spent on this he could’ve put a jack plate on this application and kept full steering just by vertically adjusting the motor.. stupid stupid move

      Deep breath please, The Captain doesn’t strike me as an unsafe pilot. If his sea trill at the ramp proves not to be satisfactory to him! I am shore he will make another modification to his Crooked pilot house. Besides commerce keeps America moving!, Also Jack Plate was my very first thing that came to me as-well.

    DIY a 6 inch set back Atlas hydraulic jack plate. It will give you the clearance and will be a big help navigating the shallows in the Bahamas. Also increases fuel economy. My 4.2l Yamaha was hitting the front of my splashwell when tilted up so I DIY an Atlas jackplate. Was an easy install.

      The 4" setback of the jackplate moved my boat's center of gravity slightly rearward. Your boat's bow will also ride higher and it will require less trim to lift the bow with a jackplate You have far greater weight forward than I, and I'm certain it would be an amazing improvement on The Crooked Pilothouse. We are standing by to stand by, Cap'n.

    Great tutorial on the upgrade, Captain. I was wondering if the wider engine would be an issue and now you proved it. I love the tape job on the "IV" bottle. In the future, turn the drain tub sideways if it will fit or slip a piece of Tygon drain tube on the bleeder ports to keep the fluid in the bucket.

    This issue needed a solution to protect the cowling, a pity you now have a limiter all the time, trimmed or not, hopefully this will not increase you turn radius during maneuvering tight spaces. Can't wait for sea-trials. You will need to tell us who computed your prop and if you will be satisfied with the results. Almost there. Till the next mod and next handful of $$ haha

      @@nickwinn Doesn't your Dusky have a 'Dusky Drive'? Its essentially the same thing, no? I had the 256 which originally had (I bought it used) a single Dusky Drive and I converted it to a twin Dusky Drive and put twin motors on the boat. (Dusky is famous for underpowering their boats, IMO) Mine was an 80's hull and heavy as chit. I drilled out the bottom for a thru-hull transducer and it must have been over 3" thick of solid glass! I really think you could run over a coral head and not put a hole in the bottom, it was that thick. Don't know how the newer boats are made. But the point of this is the Dusky Drive is hollow inside, adding that flotation. Having said that, it did benefit from 4-blade props that aided lift in the back on take off, meaning it was heavy in the azz end. Maybe an Armstrong bracket would help, IDK?

    Hey Cap'n, great work. Just sharing a trick I recently learned. You can run a hose between the bleeders and run the pump left and right. All the air gets forced back into the fill bottle. A guy on UA-cam even makes a quick connect kit for sale on Amazon for cheap to do it. Saves time and that expensive Seastar fluid.

    Hi Captain! Great way to fix the problem. After watching your videos for a couple of months I finally subscribed. Your videos are very interesting and I love the beautiful places you visit with the "crooked pilothouse". Hope to see you sometimes out there (but I'm on the gulf side of the state. Stay safe and best regards from Swfl.

    Adding limiters is going to limit your turning radius when the engine is all the way in the water the way you drive it 99% of the time. Your trolling motor is what you use for the shallows rather than limiting your engines turning radius, you don’t drive the boat with the engine up that high anyways.

    So true about the seals being essential to the steering system! When tilted up (not just trimmed up) do you use the outboard to move the boat? I thought you had an electric trolling motor for the shallows? I just hope you have enough angle of steering to help with a windy docking/retrieval. I personally always wish i had more, especially in reverse

    I would have opted for a set back bracket you could have one built for a couple hundred $ or buy a used jack plate. You lose too much deflection in your turning radius in a single engine a twin I would not worry about it. a foot set back will also give you better efficiency and a better ride.
