My hydraulic steering was factory installed. I don't think it was necessarily on the options list, but if you asked they would install it. I also tried to get them to install K planes, but they would not do that, so had them installed a year later by a competent shop. In the rough water is when I can really tell a difference compared to the stock Bennetts. Much more control and easier to keep the boat flying level. Plus they move much faster which helps when having to make quick adjustments.

I believe the 377's needed premium fuel. I hope in the future there are several LS options when it comes time to repower.
Maybe drop in a couple of these!

So you'll either have to add them yourself or find someone who already did.
Mercury Racing stopped production in 2004 of the 377 Scorpion engines as far as I know. Not sure what year Formula stopped offering the Scorpion engine package, but I thought it was at the same time as Mecury Racing stopped the production.

I am pretty sure that Latham full external hydraulic steering came standard on the 292 Fastechs with the Scorpion engine option and was included in the price.

But no K planes, only standard Bennett trim tabs with the Scorpion engine package. .

Your correct. The blue motors were a 30K option when they were available. Included in that price was the Hydra steering which was a 8K option. You still got the standard 12x12 bennetts, which I'm sorry just aren't enough. Especially with the 377 package. I only got 350s in my 292 and I ended up putting the larger 12x16 plates on and boy what a world of difference they made. My girl is completely wrong, size does matter...LOL
