    hydraulic Steering

    I am looking at putting hydraulic steering on my boat. I have a Nitro 482 with a 150 pro xs. I was wondering what the part number would be for the seastar hydraulic kit and what lenght of hoses do I need. Also would I have to purchase a new steering wheel or will the one one I have still fit?

    Recommended hose length is something that really should come directly from Nitro (or be measured manually). Hose length is critical... too long and they may rub in places, too short: well, they don't stretch.

    Various kits are available... you will want to use a 5345 steering cylinder (regardless of which kit you choose).

    Steering wheel is usually able to be re-used.
