In this video we walk through how we made our own steering bar for our kicker motor on our boat. It is extremely easy to make and cost effective and made it so much easier to troll on our boat.

Thanks. Could not find the marine Co they no longer available. Ordered 3/8 hemi ball joints instead

Nice job! Couple of comments: 1. MAPP gas heats much hotter and would make the bending easier. 2. The steel retaining clips on the end of the Panther quick disconnects are shit steel and rust readily, definitely a weak link (I've lost the spring and connector on 2 sets, including one "stainless steel" set). Thanks for the great idea.

Thanks for the tips. Definitely good to know and now that you said it the panther quick disconnects have been getting a little rusty even though it’s only freshwater.

What kind of kicker bracket do you have. Is that a panther. Maybe you could do a vid on that. Great vid thanks.

@JKFishingYt 3 года назад

Yes it is a panther. Boats in storage for winter now but that is good video idea. Thanks!

I didn't get a very good look at it, but it looks like the rod you made interferes with the large motor in a left turn.

@JKFishingYt 3 года назад

Yes it does if you turn very sharply. We couldn’t find a way to make the bar without that happening. It works fine for us and our motor cowl isn’t damaged from it.

Where did you get the ball joints and quick release from?

@JKFishingYt 2 года назад

they were given to us when we bought the boat, however here is a link for where to get them on Amazon.com: www.amazon.com/dp/B002IVD0LU/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_api_i_32B2E1M9KHRQCT075KWJ

@JKFishingYt 3 года назад

You can get them on Amazon. They are called Panther 55-5200 quick disconnect www.amazon.ca/Panther-55-5200-Disconnect-Auxiliary-Steering/dp/B00TTO8K4G/ref=mp_s_a_1_8?dchild=1&keywords=panther+marine+steering+bar&qid=1610976257&sr=8-8. There are also different manufacturers and sizes

@JKFishingYt 3 года назад

You can also get them on some other websites for a lot cheaper
