Manual to power steering conversion

[jclemmojoe]

I have an '82 Baretta 186 with the 470 4 cyl Mercruiser stern drive combo. I am attempting to convert from manual to power steering but don't have a clue as to where to mount the pump, overflow tank, cooler or for that matter the power steering unit itself to the transom. I'm hoping I can find someone with the similar setup that can help. It appears I have the early Gen one outdrive. the P/S unit does not have the two bolt mount. I think it is the system just prior to that one.

Anyone out there that can help???

Thanks,

Joe

Re: Manual to power steering conversion

Your best bet would be to replace your cable steering system with a hydraulic system (not power steering). Cheaper and easier to install, and works just as good as powersteering and cable.
