With twins you have twin ram system. Marine Machine is what Pat puts on them.
Do it yourself, not that hard.

sounds like your gimbals are worn out, running that kind of speed I would replace them asap even with HD steering.

Contact EB Marine (Eric) in Nashville. He might be able to help you out. He does all the work on our big toys here.

I agree with all that has been said.

And to add one more comment, don't run the boat again until you have hydraulic steering on it and have the gimbals checked out.

Your current set up is not only completely worn out, but unsafe for that kind of power.

I am sssuming you meant 4-5 inches" of play, not feet', either way thats not good, get it fixed, and add hydrualic steering.

Sorry its inches. Im going to call Eric and get a price. I may do it myself.
It was the first time I started to go full throttle it may have been
89 or 90 mph. Last weekend I went to 3/4 throttle and was running 86. and it was ok. I did learn a lesson about not having hydraulic steering. That will be my next install. Thanks for all your help.
