I already acquired the Teleflex Dual Steering Helm. I am waiting to measure my boat, before, I buy the cables. If I go this route, I guess I will have to fabricate the connection between the rudder and the Teleflex cable. Thanks for the link. I already acquired the Teleflex Dual Steering Helm.

It was a push pull dual cable system like on outboard runabouts.This has two cables one helm. One cable too each of the tillers.The tiller was part of the top gudgeon an it went thru the stern. The linkage was inside the aft locker.This website has what I had, just picture the ends of the cable going too each of the aft lockers. On one of the Iroquois here. I did the same system with a splashwell transom cable mount kit then going directly to the aft edge of the rudder box so it was on the outside of the boat but no tiller cross bar was needed. http://www.teleflexmarine.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/MS7Dusa-NFB-4.2-Rotary-Dual.pdf You do loose a lot of feel when going to a wheel steering system there is no feedback. But I do know a number of boats that went too wheel steering and a number of boats that did away with it . Hi Todd,

Do you have wheel steering? If so, can you post a picture of the linkage for the stern hung rudders. Unlike you, I am more into cruising than racing and would prefer to keep the postage stamp of a cockpit unencumbered with a tiller. In fact, I am considering relocating the main sheet traveler to the cabin top or a radar arch. I have seen both done successfully. Todd Andrew,

The Iroquois Chieftain Is the same hull an deck as a Iroquois mkII A.The difference being that the hull mold was raised about 4'' this makes the hull freeboard higher. The deck mold is the same but the aft deck an hatch is a little different. This makes a big difference, inside feels and looks larger. They filled in the dished out floor aft of the mast so we have a flat floor but with a higher cabin and deck than the mk.II an mk.IIA. The mast is the same as on the Iroquois mk.II.The rudders have curved daggerboard blades and are balanced. On my boat they had 1 60 Hp.outboard motor inside each stern locker with a retractable door to close off the bottom when the motors were lifted.I did away with this setup as it was way to much of a motor-sailor an not a sailboat I prefer to sail than motor so I now have the 9.9 hp.outboard on the stern motor bracket like a mk.II. this gets the stern up were it should be. The main sail was on a behind the mast roller furler with a roller furler jib. I did a 10' taller mast on my boat for racing in the lighter winds that we have here. I also did away with both furlers for better sail shaping.I also did daggerboards instead of the centerboards for ease of replacing broken boards and there better shape.The boats look the same until you raft them up together then our freeboard really shows.The interiors are very much similar except more headroom. They really are the same boats but higher decks an a little heavier weight. Hi All I have Iroquois Chieftain no.320 the boat before DUNLEANIN.
