I removed the drive unit, deployed the mount, and then reinstalled the drive unit and all was good. Fortunately, with the motor/shaft adjusted super shallow I had room off the bow of my Cougar to do this. Not sure how it would go if you didn't have that available clearance.
My Sabre FTD trailer has a swingaway tongue, so installing the steering assembly in the deployed position should be easy enough.
