Volvo 275 Power steering upgrade?

[Tommywalton]

I have an 86 bayliner Capri 19'. Aq225/275 non power trim, non power steering. I have decided to live with the no trim configuration. I would really like to upgrade to power steering though. Through searching I have found I have two options. A complete kit or finding old parts to retofit my drive. What do you guys(and gals) recommend?

Thanks

I have power steering on mine. Might be able to get the parts on ebay.

Yes I found a vp power steering pump w bracket. The easy part. Tell me is yours a power rack? Or is it a ram with orbital steering valve and hydro lines? I'm trying to get an idea how they work to decide if I should fab this stuff up or just buy parts. The kits cost as much as I have in the whole boat!

Its a ram type, I think. seems simple enough.
Also has a cooler.

If you'd like, I could get a pic next time I'm at the boat.
