I need to replace the steering on my bass boat, and a friend just replaced his with hydraulic (I would love to do that too but don't have the money).<br />He pulled the "old" steering system out and said "Here, if you can use it it's your's. I measured my boat (center of steeing wheel, around the hull to the center of the motor and come up with 10 foot 5 inches, rounded up gives me 11' system.<br />I don't know where exactly to measure the steering system my friend gave me. When I lay it on the boat is appears to be less than a foot "oversized" so I think it's the right one. It measures 11' from the center of the steering column to the start of the threaded portion of the motor connection. Does it sound like I got lucky enough to get the right one???<br />Thanks,<br />Bob
