Removing Sea Drive
Hey guys,
I'm seriously thinking about starting the removal of my sea drive next Monday, Lord willing. I have a question about the steering components. Once the sea drive is removed, will I still be able to attach the existing hoses to a new hydraulic pump? Or will I need a whole new steering system? Also, are there any tips or cautions I should know before removing the sea drive?

Re: Removing Sea Drive
you should only need a baystar or same style steering cylinder at the outboard.

Re: Removing Sea Drive
Other than the engine components, you should be able to use the helm unit and hoses, etc.

Re: Removing Sea Drive
I was wondering the same things about the length of hoses. Is the worst case scenario simply that I might have to buy longer hoses? Would it be crazy to splice another piece on to the existing hose if I had to? That's probably asking for trouble down the line, wouldn't you think?
Thanks for the input guys.

Re: Removing Sea Drive
you shouldn't have any problem as long as you use the correct hose fittings and hose for the app.

Re: Removing Sea Drive
BG do new hoses if originals are not long enough and don't look back, one less thing you will have to worry about ;)
