Default Anybody interested in a Hydraulic steering install writeup?

I think I'm going to install hydraulic steering on the V and was wonderiing if you guys would want me to do a writeup? I'll probably pull the trigger on it this week. I may wait until after the boat show...you know, just to make sure I still have the V. If so, I may have to wait for Kevin to swing my Merc out of the way and hang that new Opti...

Oh, forgot to tell you guys...I've been pretty absent lately due to my new JOB keeping me super busy

My 250 Sportsman has hydraulic steering, when we bought the boat it was effortless to turn the motors but it slipped. I put hydraulic oil in and now it doesn't slip but is not as effortless. Could that be because of air in the lines? Before i put fluid in, the fluid was below the valves. Is anybody planning to have the power hydraulic steering installed?

Thanks for the offer GNC. I've installed a couple of these before, so I got it pretty well covered.

Yep, motor has to come off, or cut the cable into short pieces . Mine needs to be raised two holes anyway,plus I am working a possible deal on an Optimax...we'll see what happens
