External Steering........
Gonna put some external steering on the boat.....Is there really any difference between the name brands?? And whats a fair price???

Use Marine Machine. That's the good stuff.
|
I would use LATHAM i've never had any problems at all. I like the way it mounts to the drive. easy to install.

SF1,
Call John Cosker @ Marine Performance, (386)-760-6464 and he'll give you a good deal on Keith Eickert Steering, which they installed on my boat. The KE system is really well engineered and I have had NO problems with it at all :D I had Marine Machine on my Eliminator and it is also very good as well as is Latham. WPM and IMCO make good systems too, from what I have heard, I have never used them though. Check out the KE's wing plate design, some of the nicest machining/welding that I have ever seen!!! MD |
I have IMCO on mine and I am very happy with it. I have driven a couple of boats with Marine Machine and one with Latham. They all worked well. However, I liked the feel of the boats equipped with Marine Machine best and would probably get that on my next boat, though I think they are all good.
I have not tried WPM or Eickert. |
I have Imco helm to stern. My only concern is that steering gets stiff at idle speed .
|
I recently installed Marine Machine. They perform really well and look great.

MARINE MACHINE!!
THERE SET UP WITH THE WING PLATES IS #1 FOR MY MONEY. THE OTHERS ARE NOT BAD. JUST DIFFERENT. RICH, E-MAIL ME YOU TEL#. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I DID WITH IT. |
Just to confuse you , I have WPM's full system. Massive wing plate They were very nice to deal with and I don't have any hard steering around the docks.
My opinion and experience. [ 01-15-2002: Message edited by: Vonbongo ] |
Have Latham on my Donzi. It works great at all engine speeds. Never tight. Little noisey when you take it to the stops at the helm during Docking. Probably a function of hydraulic system resonance. It is really stable.
