 Re: steering consol

 Re: steering consol
Like quack said put the console where you want. I can get you a measurement tomm of where I put mine. You can buy a kit from who ever you got the motor from Im sure. Its cheaper to buy your parts from other places.

 Re: steering consol
My recomendation is if you dont need the open floor space go with the CC it is very nice to drive with your feet cocked up on the side of the boat and a cold beerage in your hand.

 Re: steering consol
Go with hyd steering. I got my unit from http://www.foreandaftmarine.com. All together it cost me under 1 grand to convert my till to steering. Even with the CC i still find I have lots of room.

 Re: steering consol
I have a 18x48 center console prodrive. only a few hours on it so far... but lots of hours on a tiller in my past. the hydro steering is definitely worth the extra money in my opinion. I really like mine, a whole lot! it's not hard to do when you get the hang of it.
