The only problem is if you were to just make 2 for your application it would be expensive, the more you order the cheaper they are so if you got a bunch of us together willing to buy mass quantity he can build them at a cheaper price. they can mfg them but you would have to polish them..

what kind of pricing are we talking?

Have you tried Paul Everett at www.everettperformance.com? I've been checking around myself, and so far he has the best price and quality products.

Paul Everett is the one who runs the Zieger marine product end with his business.

We have been a distributor & Installer of their products for quite a while. If you would like prices on any of it feel free to give me a shout.. They are very good quality products.

Part of the reason the nice rams cost so much is the aesthetics. You can probably find cheaper rams that will work, but they will look like sh*t.

Did Zieger take over from WPM Racing?
I have a complete dual ram setup for single Bravo that I want to use on Twin Bravo. All I need is another wing plate for the other drive.
I have not been able to find anything on WPM lately.
Any help would be appreciated.

Any good machine shop can copy your wingplate and then u need a tiebar, i have 2 saddles for bravo here collecting dust.

i bought a single latham ram and i think i have the hull mounts and steering cap or wingplate lined up also. will have about 650 plus the cost of hoses and a couple pieces of hardware i will need. this gets me pretty much what a add on system would have been at 1300 bucks new. i plan to find a helm next and try to have full hydraulic single ram steering for under 1500 bucks. i will be watching for a second latham ram also, if i can find one i would love to do dual ram but for now i think i am going to be fine with a single.

The reason they are so expesive is that they are made out of stainless steel.
