Rear steering wheel

As you know already we just purchased a 22ft angler
Would really like a rear steering wheel so I don't hit my head running out door. We have twin 40s hydraulic steering. How difficult are they to install and Where can I get one? Thank you in advance

Buy an autopilot and a remote use the remote to steer from the cockpit. Way more fun to fish when the boat doesn't do crazy Ivans on you.

This is what it would look like. Right now your system look this only one of the steering wheels is the pump for the auto pilot. you need to add another steering pump and tee that into the existing lines and a compensation line between the pumps. Then you need to bleed the system. You can get the parts from most boat dealers.
