Post Subject: Hydraulic steering or tiller?Hi, we are considering buying a 50'x 10' widebeam barge (narrowboat style)and we are not sure whether to go for hydraulic steering (wheel) or the traditional tiller style, our intention is to take the boat to France to cruise the French waterways so we'll be 'at the wheel' quite a lot of the time, also if we decide to go for Hydraulic, is it possible to either convert the steering mechanism etc to hydraulic from tiller or even have both as alternatives? Any views gratefully received. Thx Chris
