If you go hydraulic you will lose the "feel" of your helm. I'd go to wheel and
cable steering with a pedestal. Then you could use an under-deck autopilot with
either hydraulic or mechanical ram. Hydraulic is quieter. If you install two
separate tiller arms on your rudder post, you would have backup steering.
You can do the install yourself - at least the cable steering.

Hi All,
I've been lurking here for a while and I noticed that you people are a pretty
knowledgeabale bunch of sailors. My question is: How hard is it to install
hydraulic steering? I've got a Cascade 36 with a tiller and I'm getting tired
of hand steering all the time. Both of our tiller autopilots have given up the
ghost and I'm ready to have more room in the cockpit. So, what's involved?
How much can I expect to pay? At this point, I'm just wondering.
