I just replaced the 200 Mercury on my bay boat with a 2003 HPDI (Z250TXRB). The boat has SeaStar hydralic steering. The hydralic steering cylinder does not bolt up on the Yamaha to allow full tilt. It sits more or less under the front of the motor and binds against the transom before motor reaches full tilt.
While searching for the correct cylinder a couple of suppliers said I need cylinder No. 5358 while others say I need No. 5345. I think the one I have is No. 5345 but I'm not sure. Now the guy I spoke to at Boats.net told me there is a retrofit kit to adapt the cylinder I have to the Yamaha motor but didn't know the part no. etc.
I would sure appreciate any knowledgable advice on this. If there is a retrofit kit where can I buy one? If not, what is the correct part no. for the cylinder that will work on the Yamaha?
Thanks for your help.
