Can anyone tell me if the stock steering on a '94 24ft Outlaw will be sufficient enough for 600+ HP ???

To be honest I am not sure if it is full hydraulic.... Here's a pic...Not sure if it will help....

It does have hydraulic lines that go into the rams....

Negative. IMO you need full hydraulic, external steering.

Any recommendations ? Cost will be a factor in my decision.

Thanks

Latham Marine all the way. This is definitely not an area to skimp on quality for a price cut. If you're putting 600 hp in a 24 Outlaw, it will be a chinewalking death trap without hydraulic steering. IMHO

Thanks for the advice guys. I guess I will have to bite the bullet and go with Latham. Now if I could find a system that is not brand new but not worn out, that would be nice.

Next ? Single or dual ram full hydraulic? The prices are serious!!!!

Yeah, they're pretty proud of those systems.....but with good reason! My next question would be what kind of outdrive are you running? I'm guessing the boat had a typical Bravo 1 on it, but with 600 ponies, I hope you've beefed that up as well! Sounds like you're building a beast. I think the best set up for that would be an XR with dual rams. Of course, you could always do an Ace......

You could do Lathem, Mayfair,IMCO I think single would be plenty, check your local high per boat shop, ebay, and here for a possible used set up
