Steering Actuator (VP)

[ChuckP2]

Just curious, anyone had to pull the engine out to replace a steering actuator? I’ve got a 2018 CS22 with a 280 VolvoPenta, I realize it’s in an awkward position, but would be interested if anyone had theirs replaced and if they had to pull the engine out to get to it? Thx.

Not sure on your specific model, however I replaced mine without pulling the motor. If I were doing it again I would switch to a hydraulic steering system.
