Plan on putting external hydraulic steering on my 67 -16 with a Volvo 270 drive. I am looking for information, pictures , preferences on manufactures /suppliers and especially feebback from those who have alredy done this to a 16 with a Volvo. Anyone in Ontario who has done this I would like to have look at your boat.
Thanks Danny

No one makes a kit for the old Volvo. However Gene Shimit made one for his boat Chi-Chi that works, from a teleflex components. Ther is an external cable steering from telex or uniflex can't rember which!
