Well I really liked the way the Latham system looked and the quailty of the overall system, had I not gotten the deal on the Latham I was going to go with the ziegler as my second choice sometimes you get what you pay for, my .02

Not really sure but I'm sure there are dealers on here that would shoot you a price. It ain't gonna be nearly as cheap as the Mayfair or Imco and if cost is your major concern the Marfair is a very nice system for the price. As stated above any will probably do you just fine. It really comes down to how you like the way it looks and the price your willing to spend.

I can hook you up with IMCO at a deal - good system, easy install - never had any issues.....

Christian,

Nice chatting with you the other day. I hope I was of help.

The best values for the dollar Im ny opinion are Imco, Zieger & Mayfair. My preferences are the first 2. Also the Latham is an excellent product but will be substantially more for the parts. I have Latham on my Donzi as per my email in response to yours yesterday. However for what it is worth we install more Imco's & Zieger systems than any of the other ones out there.. I also would not have any problems running them on my boat as again they too are good quality units.

Good luck in your quest which ever way you decide to go..

Jamie

We installed Marine Marine steering on a twin Bravo set up on ext boxes in 1994-1995. I have a lot of high performance hours on my boat and we have never had one issue with the MM steering system since the install; it has performed flawlessly.
