I'm currently working on converting my 1985 Dufour 31 Cruiser from a tiller to a wheel steering system, and I'm trying to gather the exact specs to make sure I do it correctly. So far, I haven't had much luck finding detailed info

Does anyone happen to know if there's an English version of the owner's manual available, or any resources that might have the steering specs? I'd really appreciate any tips or advice
 
Wow, this is a big project!
I haven't come across any manual for the 1985 models but have you tried reaching out to Dufour directly?
They might have some archives or can point you to a helpful distributor.
Try to also look for service manuals or parts diagrams from steering system manufacturers that were common back then, like Edson or Lewmar?
Good luck with the conversion!
