Thank you, Jeffrey! Thank you for your detailed thoughts. And you are fully right – i was not sufficiently clear in my post. The thing is that I am about to build an all-electric cocktail class racer with a torqeedo motor. As part of this effort i thought it would be also worth testing an alternative steering mechanism with a classic teleflex/ultraflex steering system.
I am now already somewhat further down the road. After quite some research I am now trying a system from Ultraflex (https://www.ultraflex.it/product/rack-and-pinion-steering-systems-for-jet-boats/)
If all goes well i can provide an update by end of the month of how it fits into the cocktail class racer… 😉
Thank again and all the best! Wish you a wonderful racing season!
