You can . Put a plug at the end of the cord under the dash. When it gets wound up, disconnect, unwind and reconnect.
I like the turn signal type, I've had Hyd for 20 years and buttons on the floor also, never had buttons on the wheel.

There is a way, but it's not cheap.

From what I've read on this it's NOT instant.

Myself I'll stay with the turn signals. The wheel buttons would be nice, but as the wheel assumes another position, besides straight up, the buttons will be somewhere else. IMHO

I like the blinker style way better than the wheel style. When I drive im always at 10 and 2 . I like the little finger touch of the blinker when driving its always in the same spot. I can see how it would take getting used to same as going to a foot from hand throtle.

there is a way. use trolling motor on/off switches mounted on the floor (actually on a plate that is mounted at an angle on the floor). then use your left foot to trim. I've done it since I went hydralic years ago and prefer it to even the wheel trim switches of old that came with the boat new.

I have floor buttons on the Champion and HAD floor buttons on the Allison. HAD because I found it to get a little hairy in rough water.

you can always run the coil style wire. it wraps around the steering when you turn. i got use to the blinker style when i ran hyd. im back to the cables now, and like it better, but hyd has its place!!!!!

when i had the hydraulic steering installed, i made a mistake of only installing a right hand blinker trim switch. I see a left hand going on very soon.
