HI Sparkey,
Not too difficult getting the Hydraulic lines to the helm. You will need two people. I did not use SeaStar Hydraulic hoses or fittings. They looked flimsy. I used Moreland Hose in Oakdale, NY to Custom make mine. The only reason why i upgraded the steering is because i already purchased Garmin Autopilot. SeaStar Components were purchased from WJM Marine for $1300, Custom Hoses/SS Fittings $1K, Garmin Smartpump $4K, Isotta Steering Wheel $500. This is a good way to get rid of some $$$.
SeaStar Components for Bravo3: Steering Cylinder HC5328-3, Sport/Tilt Helm HH6191, Orb Kit (Didnt use) HF6007, Fluid HA5430H
