Do Merc #6 or M6 Drives have built in pwr steering
 
I have just bought some #6 drives and I know little about them.I want to know if these have integrated power steering or if this needs to be added.I can connect both drives with a tie bar and the boat will be stabilized with power steering, right?

Yes

Ok good thank you.Do you know or anyone know about any upgrade to improve the #6 drive. drive Showers? Those tubes that go up, erators.Anything else?

the steering rams are built into the outer transom assemblies like the NXT and ITS.............if you wanting every hp and mph from a #6 drive dry sump will be the best setup

Ok thank you I sent you a message about your intakes.Also is there any other upgrades to make for the #6 merc drives? Yes they are dry sump got 2 for 35k with everything except propellers
So if it has hydraulic steering is it true that only one side has the hydraulic steering or both sides have it.If only one side has it then you would need the stainless stabilizer bar right. The boat is not here where I live it is in a shop far away, I just bought the drives so I do not know much, they are being installed now

If they’re being installed the shop doing the install should know all of this.
