Steering on Boat with a Bracket

[Rufneck]

I am restoring a 23' Sceptre. I enclosed the transom and installed a Hermco bracket. I am concerned about the ability to maneuver the boat in tight quarters. I fished on a 20 foot Seacraft CC that had the same modification done and it is difficult.

Is there anything that can be done such as a steering ram that allows the motor to be turned more? Has anybody else noticed a significant difference between a transom mounted motor and one on a bracket at low speeds?
