You can get a full steering kit, I've found Mailspeed Marine good [url]http://www.mailspeedmarine.com/controls-wheels-steering/ultraflex/packaged-steering-system-up-to-55hp-rotech-4509839.bhtml[url].

As for fitting, it could be a bit tricky with the boat in the water but not impossible. Allow yourself a good 2 - 3 hrs and grease everything well.
Good luck
