Hydraulic Steering Upgrade
I have a 2000 24 Superboat with the Hydraulic Assist steering, E.G. Cable at Helm, Hoses & Ram at the drive.
Can this system be upgraded to full hydraulic without having to purchase a full kit? My ram is good and the hoses and fittings on that end are fine. My cable helm just seems to have a bit more play than I would like. Is it possible to upgrade?
Thanks!

Re: Hydraulic Steering Upgrade
I just found one on CP Performance's website that does what I'm looking for. What is involved in installation? With the external portion already in place, I assume I won't need to drill any holes ion the transom. Where do the helm line plumb into? Is the system run by the power steering pump on the engine.
I doubt I'd have any problem installing it as I have years of experience working on cars and building engines. I just don't have much experience on boats or hydraulic systems. Should it be a straight forward install? Once installed, I assume the lines need to be bled. Is there a process for that?
