I just ordered a sea star pro steering kit to replace my broken cable steering. the boat is the “late year” 99 sabre with a 4″ plate and a 150 xr6. what hose length do I need?I already know its kinda nutz to put a steering kit on a boat this old. I dont see myself spending 50k+ on a new one anytime soon.

No, I just had sea star hydraulic put on a 96 model Eyra. But then, I also updated the engine out of necessity. One thing you have to remember, you may recover part of the cost upon resale, but if you keep the boat long enough, it will work out fine.Not sure about length though. You may need to call the factory…..96 Eyra/12 Mercury 175 Pro XS with 2015 single axle trailer2017 Victory Gunner

hard to find a kit that includes hoses. the kit I bought does not have hoses. $1200 for the kit from the dealer + hoses are another $150 +$500 labor. I gonna install it myself. I paid $700 for the kit.

I used 14 on my Eyra upgraded this past year well worth it! You might have paid over price though I paid $550 for mine it was off a wrecked bullet and the steering system was great so I got it. You wont regret it.
