    Switching from Dual Cable Steering to Hydraulic Question?

    There's a couple of Hydraulic steering systems for sale on the For Sale page, both being 14ft. My current steering is 15ft dual cable. If switching to Hydraulic, will it still need the 15ft of hydraulic hoses or will the 14ft fit?

    You'll need enough hose to go past the motor and loop back without stressing the hoses.

    I only seen one of the hydraulic steering systems in the for sale page and it didn't come with the helm for the console. Not sure if you noticed that or not. I'm going to be switching mine over also this winter.
