I have hydraulic steering. I would have thought that all 32's did... Anyways, the pump is on my port engine and the ram is mounted on the transom inside.... wait a minute! I now understand why my exhaust has to go forward instead of back. Not enough room for both. I saw a 32 with the collectors at the back of the engines instead of the front... it didn't have power steering... Makes sense now... So I am guessing that your exhaust goes back and your collectors are at the rear of the engines. You would have to change your exhaust around in addition to adding the pump, ram, lines, cooler, and whatever else...

I would be interested, It's going to be tight. I was thinking of taking of the trim tabs to make more room for the rams.
I also have four exhaust tips to contend with.
Nice to see you back on the boards Dustin

I have seen a couple of 32's on ebay in the past. I tried to find them
to see how they were mounted but I couldn't locate them. I thought they may have been mounted on the outside of the drives.
