Re: Best deal in steering
The site is a little hard to navigate and you cant really view an example of a twin bravo setup it seems.

Re: Best deal in steering
marine machine has always worked well for me......

Re: Best deal in steering
Ill call tomorrow, it may be what i am looking for. I have heard a few not so good things regarding IMCO drives but nothing bad about their steering, i do think $4500 is a lil much too.....

Re: Best deal in steering
Who are you getting the steering from, Louie @ Kachina? I just bought a WPM system from Pat for half that price, I have a ram left over as well, didn't feel like relocating everything on my transom wall to mount it, one ram is plenty for my 75 mph boat. Buy a wing plate and a brazian valve and I'll sell you a brand new ram to go with it.

Re: Best deal in steering
I see you are buying a new on with two motors, nice choice. You'll be buying two rams for sure, minght as well go full hydraulic as well. See you at the lake this summer.

Can't go wrong with Latham or Marine Machine.

Re: Best deal in steering
Imco single-ram/single engine on last boat. Worked great, but did once rupture an outside transom line. Easy fix.
Marine Machine dual-ram/twin engine on current boat, and quite happy with it. I do wish I a steering system that always returned to a "center" position though. (Not automatic-return like a car, but so the wheel always turns back to the same spot when centered.) |

i've been thinking of getting a quick release steering wheel then every time i go out i can quickly readjust it straight.its on my long list of things to do. :D Guys have been griping about that since hydraulic steering was invented and as far as I know there are no "cures" for this without compromising the reliability of the system. |
Re: Best deal in steering
ON the IMCO full hydraulic system you simply take the wheel to the stops (whil;e counting the turns) and hold it. The pressure relief valve opens; you count the turns back to center: and voila! wheel is centered.
The wheels cget out of alignment due to the pounding they take and the relief valve is constanly opening a tad bit eventually causing the alignment to get out of whack... |
Re: Best deal in steering
I don't buy any IMCO products, heard alot of bad stuff about them like not backing their warranties :evilb:
