I'm adding it to my boat this winter. I don't have it at all right now, and the boat runs 75. I'm hoping to get another 5 out of it with tuning the motor. The reason I posting this is for the guys saying it is to much money. It's to expensive now, but is it worth getting hurt or hurting someone else? Its a safety add on. You do it so your boat isn't a death trap to you and everyone around you. If your over 70, or in big water around 60 you need to do it. After you do it I'm sure you will say it was the best investment you did to the boat.

I did the upgrade to full HYD Steering, rip'd out the crappy Ride Guide Rotary Helm & cable. Currently installing a full SeaStar HYD Steering system, 2.4 Helm, Hoses, aft Hyd Cylinder. This system works in conjunction with the OEM power assist steering, price........$800 and its all inside the boat, no externals.

There is a Marine Dealer on eBay that has pretty much has the best pricing and is great to deal with, this is where I bought my stuff from. His eBay user name is: fredwarner1, here's a link to his store:

Already had a few minor issues with this conversion, they're all noted on my thread in the Velocity section, here's the link:
