|  steering hose length for center console 
			
			I'm planning on replacing the mechanical steering with hydraulic on my '81 center console V-20.  Any idea what length hoses I'll need?  I know I can pull out the existing steering cable and measure it,  but I'm using the boat a lot and I want to limit my down time if I have to order the right hoses.  Also, if anyone has any advise about installing the Sea Star 1.7 system, please give! Thank you, Brad |

			look at cable about a foot or two from transom end, there should be a part # on it. last 2 numbers are length. Usually in inches. Round up a foot or two if your not sure, you can always put a loop in it if your too long.
