The Wind Talker makes a good point, for that much money you can install a power set up yourself.
Sometimes MJ you are pretty sharp, inspite of what Bob and Tim say about you.

This hynautic k6 rams bolt to the front of your motor (and don't use the tilt tube at all). They work with seastar lines/helm and you can easily put a set together for that price. If you don't want pull the boat out of the water . . . just use a sawsall and cut the old steering out in pieces and buy one of these setups.

You also might want to look at:
www.boatbandit.com they have the Seastar w/ 16' hoses for $859.00 part no. HK6316 or the 18' kit for $20 more... & www.boaterstore.com I just checked Rivermarine & the same kit is $903.56 including shipping.. They are all pretty close.. I have bought from both & both are very good... used boaters store aka Southern Charm for all my Hynautic parts when rebuilding a system.. also carries the complete Teleflex line... The Seastar Hydraulic system is around $800 from these guys... When the steering goes on the V21 I just bought, I am going back with the Seastar system... then it won't rust up...

Sven, I was reading your thread and got thinking about how I every time I let the wheel go I end up in a turn. So I thought I would give the NFB system a try. It took me about 3hrs by myself. I imagine it would have been a whole lot quicker with someone to help, but anyway I snapped a few pics for ya.

Yeah, post lots of pictures - I'm going to need to do this at some point. Got a fair amount of slop in my steering.

Hi guys, I am also in the process of replacing the steering in my 1988 V-20. It looks like I have to cut a panel under the steering helm to get the old steering helm out. Would I be able to use a 8 inch inspection plate or cut out for a 8X12 hatch.

Be better off removing the motor and doing it right
