Need help on Helm w/ hydraulic

Can/t find any good pics, but I found this...

I mounted the helm from behind the dash. The 20* bezel may be better?
 
Not mine, but good enough friends with dealer that he lets me borow tools:clap: That power purge is the cats meow for bleeding these systems.
 
Thanks slot and CT. I saw where you could buy a kit to reduce the protrusion by 3.5 inches but it was expensive. I current piece of crap seats have slides and already has quite a bit of clearance as it is.

I appreciate your input guys! Its going to cost considerable coin to do this and I want to get going asap so I don't want to run into a situation where I go to install and then find I needed to purchase additions to make it work.

p.s. Slot, I'll have to look at your pics at home, blocked here at work. It helps to know that you've been through this fairly recently. Did you have everything you needed going in or did you discover that you needed anything as you installed?

THANKS!
 
Kit was complete as I recall. My dealer did have assorted mounting bezels in stock if I would have needed them.
 
wow i am glad my boat came all done!! But I have the wheel straight and hate it! I am going nto have to look into the 20* thing myself!!
 
Yeah, there is no way, I mean no way mine would work without the 20 degree....just look at any V21 dash and you'll see what I mean. I know it won't work because last time I installed a cable I accidentally used the regular bezel mount before I found the 20 degree mount (both included). I quickly realized my mistake.

Tilt would be nice and probably make it easier to drive standing up, which I do occasionally.

I actually have the SeaStar bezel that allows the helm to be installed with limited extrusion from the console. Let me know if you need it.

why not just make a wedge out of starboard(or wood) to angle the Helm? You can make it over size so it can be mounted to the dash securely, glass it and paint it to match. BTW, I have a freind that has a used system for sale, the hoses are porbably too short, but its the pro helm(came off of a go fast) with teh front mount cylinder for a merc, I think he wants $500. PM me if you are interested
 
Kamakazi, how much and do you know what part #? I actually just ordered the 20 degree bezel kit.

Spare, I appreciate it but I'm going to go ahead and buy a new kit.

I got another question for you guys - do I need to buy this filler kit? It is like $17.

with a new steering system you get the filler kit free
 
Thank you! This is the type of stuff I'm having trouble figuring out! What is included and what has to be purchased separately, so I certainly appreciate the fact that I have you guys to help out. Hopefully I can return the favor someday in some shape or form!

hk6400a is the only kit they make, if you see a hk6400 its because they didnt put an "a" behind it. same thing. when you order that kit the only things you need are the bezel kit and the hoses.
 
kman thanks, but for whatever reason I'm going with HK6400a....I don't know what the difference is b/t the one you have on eBay HK6324a and the HK6400a.
