Vetus hydraulic Steering Kit MTC30KIT

[Very Annoyed]

Thinking of changing my Teleflex single cable push-pull system over to hydraulic system. Has anybody had any dealings with this complete kit from Vetus?

My boat is a Cox27 fishing cruiser

No experience with this kit as such but would suggest checking on 2 points
1/ the travel on the existing cable stroke which if older may be 12" if so you will need to alter the tiller connection point or accept reduced tiller movement
2/ there are various formulae for checking the rudder load produced based on speed and rudder area and tiller length (see1) so as not to overload the system
In addition I found in the distant past using copper pipe with flexible end hoses or even proper hydraulic hose gave a better feel but did increase cost
