Bill,
Have you made this change to hydraulic steering? What is cost for our 37' dual helm boats?

I did it with the upper bridge only. 6 turns each way and hard to center correctly. Miss the cable steering, or need an indicator when I get a round to it. Not a hard install.

Rodger,
I switch over both stations about ten years ago. Did most of the shopping on EBAY and its the best thing since sliced bread.
Man the prices have gone up.
A little over $1,000 for a dual station.

I was lucky enough to find one that had hydraulic steering and autopilot installed on both helms. Priceless on longer trips. I believe mine is a hynautic . So far it's been carefree, other than checking reservoir level and pressure occasionally.
