I replaced the steering in Far Cove (Catalina 36) and it cost me about that,
but I didn't replace the wheel, pedestal, rudder "wheel", etc. I'm guessing to
do it Right will cost substantially more than that.


I think tha parts alone will be more than 1500.00. Installation will not be
cheap. My advice to people in this sort of situation is: Find the boat you want
WITH wheel steering and don't get involved with the mod.
