OEM Steering for '73 20' CC?

[Roland Rodriguez]

The problem with the cable steering is that you have to replace the system every couple of years if your lucky. If the boat sits for a while it destroys this type of steering. If you go the hydraulic route you will never go back. I have a 20 footer with a 225 and can steer it with 1 finger. If cost is an issue, down here in south florida you can pick up a used helm, resevoir, and piston ram. for about 300.00. Hope this helps.....been there and done that.
