steering questions
i currently have the stock merc power steering setup w/ single cable, it has 2 bravo drives w/ the tie bar in boat on the tiller arms, anyway, i just got the boat to run 71 mph and was wondering if this was ok w/ the stock system, do i need to add anything?? was considering putting on the external tie bar, any thoughts???

Re: steering questions
External is the best way to go but at the very least you should install a tie bar on the drive that will at least help save the steering pins some what!!!

That's a real good price. You can't touch two rams, wing plates, brackets etc for under 2k anywhere. External steering, at least the add on system is a must at 70 mph.

That does sound like a decent price,so would this be considered an add on? Can this be upgraded later as a full system should I decide later. Can you please send pics to [email protected]. or post them on this thread for all to see.
Does anyone know what the flat rate(avg install time) is on installing this. For a novice that turns wrenches quite well?
Now to catch up on honeydue projects to try and convince the wife that we MUST spend more on my hobby.
