Hydraulic steering choices
Submitted by AaronC on Sun, 2012-02-05 12:09
Hi Guys,
Looking at putting hydraulic steering on my 5.5m ali with a 130 honda four stroke.
What are good brands and where to buy from?
Would i be able to fit it myself as i dont really want to pay $400 to get it fitted? keep in mind its my first boat and have little boating experience.
Has anyone had any good or bad experiences lately?
Cheers
