has anyone ever changed or know how much it would cost to convert rack and pinion to hydraulic steering
I just changed out my mechanical steer to hydraulic. I wnt with the Baystar system. Shop around to find the best price. I think I gave $400+ for mine. Make sure it will fit your boat. Install is pretty simple.
Depends on which system you need. The Baystar system is for boats with motors up to 150hp. Over 150hp, use the SeaStar system. SeaStar runs around $800 - $1000.
Yes, anything over 150HP, or 60MPH requires the Seastar system. I'm a slow 115HP.Quote:
