Been tossing the idea around and since my boat has a unique hull design, my options for a kicker rig are none too good.
So I would like some input with my idea:
Could a guy take a hydraulic steering system for his main motor, tie his kicker to it and then at the pump, run two more lines to a push pull stick on the deck?
The main motor would have to be trimmed while running the kicker (of course) but I was thinking that if you joined the motors at the front, the trimming might not too big of an issue.
Any thoughts?

One con to this maybe that it could be a bit slow responding... resistance from the steering wheel and all.

what kind of hull do you have that makes it hard to go with a conventional setup?

Maybe some picture of you setup might spur some ideas!

Glass tri hull.
You can see that it would take a custom bracket.

Will it not turn in both directions without interferance from the outboard the way it's mounted now?

You have the same setup type setup as me man, just build her like that!
you should have NO problem as long as one motor is up and one is down!
My motor are stacked next to each other, all the cables are on the inside of the boat transom! the mount for the steer cable on the kicker is actually mounted on the primary motor!
