Whatever FLOATS THE BOAT!!...:happy:

My boat guy charges 80 bucks an hour. Pulling a tank looks pretty tuff to do. If you got the cash, I say do it.

I'd pull the tank myself. It isn't all that hard technically speaking, just a PIA. I'd let someone else mess with the steering if I didn't know what I was doing.

I do everything myself, cause I cant afford for someone else to do it.

but if you got the money why hassle with it??

The tank is the bear to pull, the steering isn't a big deal to do if your going with a seastar system. Mount the helm in the old hole(after you enlarge it with the supplied template), use the old cable to pull the 2 hoses, hook the ram up, and then bleed the air. The steering is an easy upgrade.

yeah 5 hrs on the steering is outrageous. two hour max for that.
