Review on Marinetech 55-5100 Balljoint (Pack of 2): Durable and Reliable Joint Connectors for Marine Applications by Mark Harrison

My main motor and kicker motor are about 3 feet apart so I ordered them to make my own "custom" steering wheel. I welded a fine thread screw to each end of a rod I bought at a hardware store, bent it a bit, and then just screwed these ball joints onto the ends. Works great and was very easy. Remember these things have intricate carvings!
