Steering shot -aftermkt replacement

The Wind Talker makes a good point, for that much money you can install a power set up yourself.
Sometimes MJ you are pretty sharp, inspite of what Bob and Tim say about you.
 
This hynautic k6 rams bolt to the front of your motor (and don't use the tilt tube at all). They work with seastar lines/helm and you can easily put a set together for that price. If you don't want pull the boat out of the water . . . just use a sawsall and cut the old steering out in pieces and buy one of these setups.

I just may do that (cut old off and install hydaulic system) if i can get a new system for not too much cash. Thanks for that advice!
 
Sea Star

You also might want to look at:

www.boatbandit.com they have the Seastar w/ 16' hoses for $859.00 part no. HK6316 or the 18' kit for $20 more...

&

www.boaterstore.com

I just checked Rivermarine & the same kit is $903.56 including shipping..

They are all pretty close..

I have bought from both & both are very good... used boaters store aka Southern Charm for all my Hynautic parts when rebuilding a system.. also carries the complete Teleflex line...

The Seastar Hydraulic system is around $800 from these guys... When the steering goes on the V21 I just bought, I am going back with the Seastar system... then it won't rust up...

Good Luck,

Thirdcoast

Sven, I was reading your thread and got thinking about how I every time I let the wheel go I end up in a turn. So I thought I would give the NFB system a try. It took me about 3hrs by myself. I imagine it would have been a whole lot quicker with someone to help, but anyway I snapped a few pics for ya.

Now I just need a new steering wheel and I will be set. I am looking for a nice used one but haven't found one yet.
 
Yeah, post lots of pictures - I'm going to need to do this at some point. Got a fair amount of slop in my steering.
 
steering replacing

Hi guys, I am also in the process of replacing the steering in my 1988 V-20. It looks like I have to cut a panel under the steering helm to get the old steering helm out. Would I be able to use a 8 inch inspection plate or cut out for a 8X12 hatch.
 
88 steering

Have no glove box on this 88, so there is no acess to the steering helm. I have looked at other v-20's and I guess I will have to install a 8 inch round inspection plate or a door. The cherry picker in the garage and is waiting patiently to swing that Yamaha to remove the cable from the tilt tube which is already loose and ready to come out.Looks easy enouph. Should be in the water soon.Thanks for your help.
 
I just fixed my overheat problem (missing washer, lowered water pump pressure). Now back to take the steering. Marina wants $488 to just pull the boat and unbolt motor and remove old steering rod and slap the new one in. Thats $288 laborer (2 x 144 per hr) and $10 per foot to pull it out for me. I came up with the idea of borrowing my friends engine hoist and doing it at the dock myself when hopefully nobodys looking. $500 lot a moollah for not that much work. We'll see what happens. The old rod seems to be a bit of a ***** to get out. I hammer it and it moves, but not much. Once i get a better angle of attack when I move the engine, Im sure I can bang the hell out of it and get it to slide through. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
 
Spray with PB Blaster a few times while you wait to get ready, also a propane torch will help!! When you get it in the tube use a old 1/2 extension to drive it the rest of the way out.
 
Hello folks,I'm new here just picked up a 77' cuddy with a nice running 150 Yamaha 2.5 Max. And found a 76' v20 fish Hull down the road for next to nothin' . thinking of fishing one while rebuilding the other and then switching the hulls ....I'm a glutton for punishment I guess Anyhow the steering.g cable in the cruddy was siezed and is the 18' teleflex I was able to get it out without lifting the outboard but will probably have to loose the motor for the install for my 77'

Hi and welcome... it's not punishment.. it's love. (same thing really) :head:
 
so i am in the process of replacing my steering too due to it being very stiff. I spoke with a few people and one of them said that if i just grease the cable down near the engine i would be good to go. Is this just a temp fix and am i better off just replacing the whole cable and if so what size cable is needed for a 1989 v20? Summercooler1 i am out of atlantic highlands too. You have a slip there?
