if the system has sealed boxes then that kit comes with 24' hoses also. that looks like a good deal if it has the hoses as the model number says. then you would only need the bezel kit.

Thank you sir!

no problem

I bought HK6400a from a reputable eBay seller this morning for $876, which includes 20' hoses and shipping charges.

I bought the 20 degree bezel kit for $75 at go2marine.com.

I'll keep you guys posted on this project once these get shipped. Thanks for all of your expertise!

Thanks for the vote Reel! The install seems easy IMO. I'm going to use the existing cable to feed the hoses so that shouldn't be a problem at all.

I guess I'll be finding out how easy it really is very soon!

Good luck, Old Buddy...that upgrade will really enhance an already "Purdy Lil 21"...

My hoses are cooper water tube, by what I understand it was done at the factory in 1984??

Wow, never heard of copper tubing in a hydro steering system. But if you can't tell by now, I don't know much about hydro steering

I know enough about steering cables though including how much they cost and how dangerous they can be when they fail! I got real lucky 2 years ago when running about 30 mph with 6 folks on board she snapped and sent the V into an instant sharp right turn. Luckily I throttled down just in time as we were heading straight for a wooden seawall on the lake.

No one was thrown out but it was scary.
