Cool. I feel good about doing it. I'll just have to hold off on a new stereo for a month or two.

If you decide to go hydraulic...
Go Teleflex Baystar hydraulic steering if your 150 hp or under
here is a link from ebay for starters
http://www.ebay.com/itm/TELEFLEX-BAY...7819db&vxp=mtr

Does this unit fit an 18SF ?

How difficult/complicated is it to install one of these units ? I have neck and back issues and hate straining with my existing steering.

Hydraulic made my boat bearable to drive. I went uflex, pieced it off eBay.

Seastar or Uflex?

The unit in the link is a Baystar not Seastar, rated up to 150hp. I've heard they work fine but if you have more power, you need Seastar. I like my NFB 4.2 with Yam F115 because I never go to the gym. :D

If you think hydraulic steering is great, add an autopilot to it...
