  1. Hydraulic steering upgrade to PT 175

    JACKCOOK posted a topic in Bass Boats, Canoes, Kayaks and more
    I have a 2005 Tracker PT175 with a Merc 60 FS. Has anyone had experience upgrading to hydraulic steering? Any recommendations would be appreciated! Torque steer is not a problem, the motor is trimmed nicely. The factory steering has always had approximately two inches of free play at the steering wheel. This may be normal, not sure. I am just not comfortable with this and was hoping to get something more positive. I had a steering cable fail at a Swedge fitting on a stick steering back in the 70's which is in the back of my mind. The failure was at WOT in open water.
