Have a Kad32 with cable steer. Is it worth the cost and effort to go to hydraulic? Is there anything special that I will have to get, or do the rams come with all needed parts? Im looking at the teleflex ram #HC5332, as well as helm unit HH5271. Any info or help much appreciated.

Unless your cable system is shot now, I would only go hydraulic if you planned on 2 helm stations

Let me know what you come up with, Josh. I'm working on my 3rd cable in two years. Steering got so stiff that we'll be doing some outdrive work this weekend to replace bushings. Hydraulic sounds like a dream right now.
