Kicker steering on a single screw inboard

[RH93]

All,

 

This was my first season running a single screw inboard (early 80's tunnel drive Penn Yan) I've been using the tiller for steering my 9.9 kicker. 

On my previous boat I used a tie bar connected to the main outboard, so I could steer from up front. 

 

Looking for suggestions to tie the kicker to my current rudder steering (that doesnt include drilling a hole in the rudder). I see alot of inboards in the marina that have the kicker tied to the main steering. So I know its being done. I did a quick search on here, did find a old post that mentioned a cable that could attach to the rudder cable, and then attach to the kicker. But I can find any part numbers online. 

 

Anyone feeling generous enough to give me a description of their system? I really dont want to buy one of those electro steering kits.

What type of steering is in the boat? I'm assuming cable?

Correct, cable steering.

Just to close this up, in case anyone in the future is looking to do the same. 

 

Kept it simple, used a dual cable helm, one steering cable to the rudder, the other to the kicker. Kicker turns with the rudder all the time. Which is helpful because the kicker acts like a rudder angle indicator, helps when docking. No real increase in steering effort.
