I was thinking the EZ Steer was the link between an outboard and the
Outdrive or another outboard. Maybe that is the one Galaxi Marine said
would work with the Kodiak. Do they have a website?

www.ezsteer.com Yes, EZ steer is the one works between an outboard kicker
and a main engine (commonly another outboard) - at the rear, from lower
unit-lower unit as opposed to some set ups that connect in the front of
both engines, via the main steering cable/rod..

Outboard-sterndrive connections are the same for the kicker, but the
sterndrive fitting works off the horizontal part of the sterndrive.

On their site, they specifically say they have fittings for jet pump
applications. Looking at my EZSteer, and putting my imagination to work
thinking of a past life with I/B Jet, and how I've seen them work with the
horizontal part of a stern drive - my educated guess is that they would be
able to fit virtually any I/B jet I'm familiar with, but I've never actually
done it. My guess is that the fitting to a horizontal jet pump is just a
variation of the fitting to a stern drive.

What they sell is a self-adjusting connector bar (pretty much the same for
all applications), and then fittings specifically for your kicker and main
engine - depending on make, model, size, lower unit shape, etc.

I run a Yamaha T-8 with the built in power tilt. I have a Jetcraft
Bluewater 21' and inboard jet. Very similar to your desired
Duckworth.
Has
the 35" sides for ocean and bay fishing also. So weight is about
3200#
wet
and the T-8 is a tiller steer. I understand someone is making a unit
to
attach to the I/B Kodiak/ Hamilton jet unit to steer from the console.
To
cheap to spend $2k for a TR-1. Most of the river guides are running
the
power tilt, with prop guards on the motor. Mine is attached to welded
solid
bracket on the transom. Used to have an OMC bracket with a Mariner
15HP
2
stroke and broke two of those brackets.

Hey Bill - you might check out the EZ steer. They have fittings for a
variety of jet pumps and from my personal knowledge of how well they
adapt
to various set ups, it would be worth a look on their web site and/or a
phone call. As I've said before, ad-nauseum, it's a design that works
very
well for me and others I know who use it. They have also been very
helpful
by email and phone and I'd be surprised if they couldn't discuss your
particular pump with authority.
