Default Re: info on original steering helm for 1975

Abl,

Sorry I have not responded to your post sooner. I think I may of had a similar system on my '78 23' Sceptre (i.e. cable steering). When I repowered with a MerCruiser 454 / Bravo 1, I did not change over immediately. Couple of years later, finally converted to a Hynautic hydraulic system and it was definitely $ well spent. However, at that time the NFB systems did not exist. An added benefit was not having to replace steering cables which seemed to seize every 2 or 3 years. I do feel your pain from writing so many checks, but if you decide to convert, I'll be happy to share any info. regarding what helm pump, cylinder, etc., I used.
Good luck and looking forward to seeing some pictures.

Chris
