Teleflex has the hydraulic steering system used on most bass boats, Ranger, Triton, Skeeter etc. I have woked on and installed this system, it's a good one

DO IT, you won't regret it one bit, I promise. I did mine a couple years ago and the difference is very noticeable, especially in the cold. My system for a 150 requires a 2-cable and the money difference was about $50 and some peace of mind that goes even further. Do some shopping around, the price's are scattered to say the least. I got mine from Fore and Aft marine.
Hydraulic steering is an incredible upgrade. As mentioned Teleflex is one of the best.
thanks for the replys i am still shopping
Could you make your own Hyd steering from Parts?
I had an old ChrisCraft with mechanical steering. I thought to replace it all with two Rams and a Resivour. I think it's possible.
