Anyone Use Non Power Assist Hydraulic Steering for Single I/O
I am looking to see if anyone had used a full hydraulic steering system like those found on Twin O/B setups but for use on a twin ram single I/O . Most every system I find rated for I/O uses the power steering pump to assist the helm. I am looking to get rid of the power steering pump if I can and go no power assists. If a non power assist system can turn 2 or 3 300 + HP O/B's then why can't it be used for a single I/O????

Yes... works pretty darn well if you have room under your dash for the larger helm. The helm usually requires more turns lock to lock in order to get the necessary leverage on the ram. I had one on my 23 ft eliminator, and I would do it again.
