Sooooo.... the vevor story is RETRACTED!!! DO NOT PURCHASE THAT THING! We ended up pulling the helm out and every fitting was leaking. Took it down to bare bones and put all new seal kit in it and it still leaked!!!! Could not let it go home without the correct fix. We dropped a brand new Sea Star 5345 on her with new hydraulic lines and helm. We had to make a plate for the back of the helm due to the vevor being a larger diameter. Filled and turned the wheel 500 times to the left and 500 times to the right!! 𤣠this guy is SMOOTH sailing from here!!! While we had it, we went to work on the front end getting all his graphs, turret, and GLS10 up and running correctly. Proper wiring on these computer units are critical. Adding a clam shell to cover a hole that was already in the floor using thw hole dor our perko switch. (One was already mounted there but was rusted up.) We then added in a blue sea fuse block and ran all the wires through top clean landing them on the fuse block. We set the black box that was zip tied to kick panel and anchored it down so that he would still be able to see his status light. This has been a pretty extensive job but it is completed non the less. We want to thank this customer for holding in there while we waited for his steering to show up. Thank you for trusting in SWBW for your boating needs.
