I'm on the lookout for a hydraulic steering system...

Look at the Marol--the seastar uses bushings in its helm(pump)---Marol uses 2 bearings--front and rear on their helm (pump)---longevity---cost--should be $ for $.

Marol! That's the name I was thinking of

I found a good used system on Craigslist for around the $300 mark. I did have to have the connection fittings changed out for around $60 so they are out there.

Well, I picked up a like new Seastar 2.4 helm today for $200. I just couldn't bring myself to fork over the cash for a new complete system. I'll be piecing this kit together.
