Thinking about converting my beloved 2002 Bayliner Capri 175 BE to power steering..this might be the answer. Any experiences out there?

I just changed my boat over from cable stearing to the 6400A Seastar hydraulic system and it works great.

I put this on my Lund 21ft deep V. Love it. Make sure you bleed it well when you install it.

I used a rope and routed it where the cable would be routed. From the helm to the steering connection point at the transom. Then measured the rope. But here are a couple links that should help more. http://www.jamestowndistributors.com/userportal/document.do?docId=694http://www.iboats.com/basics/measure_steering_cables.html

im not sure,go to youtube and type in. how to measure steering cable for boat.and you will get a Teleflex how to video that will explain how to measure,look for model numbers,well bottomline will show/explain better than I goodluck

I have been more than satisfied with the improvement of steering and Tire wobble. I have a jeep Cherokee sport. I put 3''lift n 16 inch tires. Handles excellent!! I'm happy!

Yes it will. My husband put his on a 21' Allison. If you have cable steering, you will have to change it all, which requires a new helm, 2 Kevelar hoses, and steering cylinder. Purchased all this on-line for around $1,000. He says, it was worth every penny. Make sure everything is the pro system. Good Luck, hope this helps.

I own a 2002 330ci it looks great in the car and sounds great,but I had issues with getting the steering wheel controls to work and the maps are a couple years old...I do not believe that there is a difference in your factory radio and mine.I would recommend this radio if you don't need the Bluetooth or steering wheel controls,you may get lucky and get them to work.But the sound difference is worth it.

It made the ride very smooth and it is better than stock. My husband bought the steering stabilizer n you can feel the difference a lot. The car is very responsive. Hopefully this helps

I found this link. Judy's suggestion appears cheaper, but compare and see which will work for you. After looking through the manual I don't think you can use steering wheel control without that adapter.

I used it on a 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe. I don't have that vehicle anymore but I think this thing is about 12 inches long and about 4 inches wide. I'm not even sure how to tell if a power steering cooler is working, but I never had any problems with it. The OEM cooler on the Santa fe was just a copper pipe loop, so this was an upgrade to that at least.

It will work perfectly.I have a 19' fishmaster with a 140 suzuki 4 stroke. I regret not installing the hydraulic steering sooner. You can steer with one finger

After fixing the the broken remote and short circuit inside the car I finally got it to work.Steering is quite bad, as all is digital, not proportional like Digi-Q stuff. Turning radius is mediocre, adjusting the center is OK.Also I find the speed far too high, so steering control is even worse this way. Forget about cruising around table plates or coffee mugs...By adding a 10Ohm resistor to the motor wiring I could tame the thing somewhat.The car slowed down significantly, allowing for better maneuvering on tables.All is cheap copy of the good Taiyo mini RC stuff from Japan, which costs just a little more but has real quality built in.

on fuel economy mode no change in mpg (same) i run now 87 performance what a power diference lower end gets a lot of kick ,it realy shows serious power on 93 performance but i dont want to run 93 because of $ per gal so you'll be happy with 87,i got that unit just for towing i tow 6 k boat than it burns less fuel and pulls way better up hill here in new england would highly recommend cortex (only) nothing else ,my last truck dodge ram with flushpeg waist of money no change in power stay away cortex kicks a.. Buy it and enjoy it

Word of advice tho, from my experience. I've installed 2 of these on Chevys. DO NOT use the steering extension!

AS long as you have a standard one point attachment with a cable tube it should work fine. I have a Mercury Optimax 150 which originally had a duel cable steering system. This system replaced that and works fine. The only issue is it is a little slower then the cables.

Let me start off by saying I am not an expert. I think all the Teleflex systems are rack & pinion systems. The length of the cable is the critical part. I have never seen a power assist steering so I can't help you there. The best thing to do is call or write the company you are thinking about buying the cable from and discuss it with them. Good luck!

I don't know for sure if it would be a direct replacement. However, rotary helm steering is very universal. I have had really good luck with the units I bought so far. My boat had no steering at all. I built a console for my boat and had no problems what so ever installing this unit. The Mercury Ride Guide comes in both Rotary and Rack and Pinion. If your outboard is smaller than say a 75 HP then you should be fine with a Rotary system. I have used Rotary systems on 90 horse engines as a Rack system would not fit. But the engines in that range and above begin to build pretty good torque and I just feel safer with a rack system. If the boat already has a Rotary system, if it were me and I needed one, I would feel confident that I could make it work. Really don't know if you would need another steering wheel, but my guess is that your old one would fit. I know this is not really what you wanted to know. But I can tell you that this is a good system that will last you many years.
