    Helm cutout

    I am not sure if I am even going to do it or not but I have been contemplating switching out the cable steering system for hydraulic this winter or next winter.

    I see the safe t steering system calls for a 2-7/8” cutout and the bay star system calls for a 3” cutout. Does anyone know what size hole the factory cuts out? I would hate to have to enlarge an existing hole.

    I don't have before photos, or dimensions, but I had to enlarge substantially to install Baystar.

    Edit: looking at the original cable helm that was removed, the center opening was likely approx 1.5".
