Yes I think it came out clean looking at the helm... Post #16 is my boat

I swapped out to a non directional steering wheel, with hydraulic steering the wheel wont necessarily be centered when the motor is straight... I also compounded this by installing an auto pilot at the same time which can turn the motor w/o turning the wheel. Also partly responsible for the decision to swap out to hydraulic, as the auto pilot for cable steer would have been $300 more than the hydraulic one, why not apply that $300 to the cost of hydraulic steering?
Tips for doing the job... not sure what your console is like but, the most major complication I had with the install...
Where the cable steer helm was mounted to my console was inset, and there was a steel brace molded into the plastic. I ended up cutting the 3" or whatever hole necessary for the Baystar helm through the center of the brace, and fabricated a large backing washer, as the 4 mounting studs ended up too close to the ledge created by the inset... Hopefully these pics can help explain.
This is the old cable helm resting in the hole I cut through its mounting bracket
The backing washer I made that sandwiches the console between it and the helm,oh and never mind the slippers, was working on this inside a tent, Minnesota, cold and snowy.
