Default Bullet Hydraulic Steering Question

Any one who has a Bullet with external hydraulic steering are the cylinders between the drive or are the outside of the drives?

My 1988 Bullet came with a Latham system mounted between the drives. I have never had any problems. I have seen them mounted both ways though. I would like to know the pros and cons of mounting either direction.

Klaw,
On my '88 Bullet I mounted them on the outside. The person that may know the pro's/con's would be Tres Martin or a guy named "Bing" from marine machine. Bing was very helpfull when I set mine up over 6 years ago. Good luck running the last two hoses thru the pvc up to the helm. What system did you finally go with?

I have the outside mount from Brett May (Mayfairs) on mine and they work quite well on the outside. I have seen both though!

Klaw,
My 38 has the cylinders mounted on the inside. This actually saved my drives when my Tie bar broke it pushed the drives away from each other. There is a pro for you.

This is the reason you want them inside . . the Latham on my 35 was inside as well.
