hi there,
Of course, as the old saying goes, you can accomplish anything if you're willing to throw enough money at it. You could do it, but it would entail a lot of work. You would need to run hydraulic lines and associated fittings from the forward helm to the cockpit. So you'd need to spy a little bit to see what kind of room you have to run them by looking forward in your starboard lazarette. There is a gap along the hull side, right above the stringer, that carries the lines when the boat has them installed. But that area is more difficult to reach once the boat is built. Those lines were laid along the side of the liner before being put into the hull. After that, the best thing to do is to contact a local shop that has this kind of experience to have them help you identify the parts that you would need.
In the end it is possible, but you would just need to see how dedicated you are. 😉
Cheers,
Ralf
