I've got a Cascade 36 with a tiller and I'm getting tired of hand steering all the time. As has been noted, you will lose a sense of "feel"; however, IMHO, that is the least of your concerns, especially if you are getting tired of hand steering. Hydraulic steering will probably be the easiest retrofit. You will need to install a pedestal and wheel, a rudder post control arm, hoses, hydraulic steering ram as well as rudder cyl. Depending on your ability to negotiate, expect to invest $6K-10K.
