Wingplate for 2 piece adapter plate
Does anybody know if there is a wingolate you can buy for a Merc 2 piece plate? I know I've seen guys run sidearm steering with 2 piece plates but didn't know if they had to fabricate their own plates or somebody already makes them.

Oh cool! Looking into going sidearm on my Superboat but between my 2.4 200 and my 225 promax I'm only gonna be running 2 piece plates. Do you need a special size ram? Or the regular size Latham rams etc will work. Also, Tux974 I believe you've done this. Can you run sidearm steering with a sea star helm? I have a 1.7 helm an I heard it can work as long as you don't have a pro helm. Thanks for your replies!

I did setup one and it did work well but was never comfortable with it?
It is not recommended but if you must I would suggest the 2.4. Keep in mind you will have more turns from one side to the other, have have to get used to it.
Also the side that gets more turns will just about empty the reservoir. You can install a small reservoir, small coffee cup size is plenty if you do.
