hi all ...
can anyone help me here . i have a 70hp 2 stroke johnson outboard as the main outboard on my boat .. i also have a 8hp johnson outboard on my boat as a back up just in case the main one should give me trouble .. i am looking for a way to link the 8hp outboard to the 70hp outboard . so when i steer the 70hp outboard the 8hp outboard will turn too . the reason i want to try and do this is to save on fuel while i am trolling while fishing . thanks any advice would be great . or can i buy a steering kit for the 8hp outboard !! here,s a photo of what i,m talking about ..

There is also a link arm kit that fits lower down on the shafts.
