Re: Lm18 madison wi
Finally got most the parts I need to put a wheel on my console. Starting mock ups to see where I like it.

Do you mind sharing what type of helm pump you got?

Re: Lm18 madison wi
Which helm did you buy and rear mount or front mount?
Re: Lm18 madison wi
Well I looked at sea star and a couple different models. I went with a hydrodrive. That had good reviews and I like that the hoses and ram are fixed, and that the shaft moves. That is the opposite from a seastar, and it’s a couple hundred cheaper. Also since my console is only 16” wide I found a 11” spoke wheel. It fits perfect.

Re: Lm18 madison wi
Thanks. Worth looking in to. I’ve been getting sweaty looking at the Sea Star price points.

Re: Lm18 madison wi
The first cut is always the hardest. This is the before wheel as a tiller boat.
Wish me luck.
Also I found a prop I like and also ordered a set of smart tabs.

Re: Lm18 madison wi
That first cut on your pretty build would be hard for me too. It would be a huge project for me 'cuz I struggle with the engine control/steering stuff but I've no doubt you'll be very happy with the console control when finished.

Re: Lm18 madison wi
My measurement were spot on, but I think I need to split the throttle and the wheel on to different planes. I don’t like that I can bump into the controls.
Thoughts?
