Typical shop cost is the steering set and 4 hours of labor at my place. $85 an hour. Usually about 1200 for sea star pro. If they’re not running any sales.

Do it yourself. There are dozens of instructional videos on YouTube and other places. Not what I would consider a job for someone with no hands-on skills, but most people can handle it just fine.

I did this to my 99 Pantera II classic... it is well worth the investment... you will not be disappointed... the numbers that the others mentioned are accurate... I was lucky enough to buy my buddy's used system off his old boat...he is also a boat mechanic...so, I was able to get the whole thing done for under a $1K.
If you have the money, do it... your back, arms, and neck will thank you. It makes your boat safer and days on the water a lot more enjoyable.

Any thoughts on the cost to have hydraulic steering installed? If you decide to DIY it you are welcome to bring the boat by here (NAPA in Wylie) and I can talk you through it, I have installed a dozen or so of them.

Chris installed mine! 1998 Basscat and mad ea world of difference, can't imagine driving a boat without hydraulics anymore.

Hughes Marine in Wylie did mine, 2004 SX-190 a few weeks back. Call Gary (boatman25) for his best price

I did mine with the help of my 10 year old daughter. We did it in one day. Not a hard job! Hole saw, saw zaw, general hand tool. I will never not have hydraulic steering again on my boat!
