Full hydraulic steering install questions

Wow, that setup looks boss. I agree - this is how it should have come factory... I keep flipping between just replacing my helm/cable/actuator vs. full hydro, mostly due to price, but also install hassle. Should have done it when I had my engines out last winter, but was already tapped $$.
I'm tired of the free play and always feeling like I'm moving the wheel left/right just to keep the boat strait.

Hey, I'm trying to copy your setup, and I think I have all the parts inside and out picked. Did you install a tilt helm? Where did you mount the steering resiovour? Does anyone make a nice mount that would bolt up to the exhaust elbow like OMC oil filters did? What was your center-line between drives? I need to measure mine. Boat comes home the 1st. Where did you mount the filter? Did you do your own lines?
Anything I should be aware of before installing? Can you purge without starting the engine? I plan to winterize the engines before taking this on due to the way my shop is setup winterizing it later will be a hassle.
any help appreciated! thanks.

Materials: $4400 + steering wheel + misc. I did the fixed 15 degree helm.
100% imco other than the wheel. I think the price of some of the parts has gone up since I ordered.
I got 5% cash back from discover via paypal as well. if you have discover. (cap is $1500, so it's like $75 back I think), but hey, $75 is $75 bucks.
I assume you have twin bravos, and an existing tie bar?

I did my own IMCO Steering a few years back. Made it a completely different boat, it is not hard, just takes a lot of patience, time and thought. I attached a couple of pics to show how it is laid out and the finished product. Routing the internal parts was the only real PITA> Follow their instructions and you will love the results.
