EZ Steer Universal Auxiliary Outboard Steering Kit – 27–28" C-C, 7" Offset (EZUKIT710004)

Precise Helm Control for Mid-Wide Transom Setups

The EZ Steer Universal Auxiliary Outboard Steering Kit (EZUKIT710004) puts your kicker motor under full helm control — no tiller extension, no reaching back, no lost sightlines. Engineered for outboard and sterndrive configurations with a 27–28" center-to-center distance and a 7" auxiliary offset, this kit fills the gap between the narrower 19–22" and wider 29–33" configurations, covering a common transom spacing found on mid-size fishing and cruising boats.

The self-adjusting stainless steel connecting rod handles minor alignment variation at installation, and brass quick-disconnect fittings let you break away instantly when switching to main power — without removing the system. Troll, dock, or cruise with both hands on the wheel and your eyes on the water.

Parts Desk Insights

Best Use Case: The right pick for customers with a mid-size boat whose main and auxiliary engines are mounted 27–28" apart center-to-center — a spacing that falls between the two most common configurations. Common on 18–22' fishing boats with twin-transom setups where the 19–22" kit is too short and the 29–33" kit is too long. Ideal for trollers who want hands-free kicker control without a tiller extension.

Fitment Check: Always confirm the customer's center-to-center measurement before recommending this SKU. For 19–22" C-C setups, direct them to the EZUKIT710001. For 29–33" C-C setups, see the EZUKIT710003 (7" offset) or EZUKIT410003 (4" offset).

Installation Notes: The self-adjusting connecting rod accommodates minor alignment variation, but both bracket assemblies must mount to a clean, flat transom surface. Vinyl liners protect gel coat. All hardware is included — no additional fasteners needed for standard installations.

Common Add-Ons: Pair with replacement quick connects (EZ13200) and stainless bands (EZ18020) as service spares. For 4-stroke kicker engines, recommend the EZ18710 Restricting Tether to prevent over-steering.
