Nice system!

Another good one is XS Performance Marine. http://www.xsperformancemarine.biz/
You might call Brian to see if he has an old one laying around.

Not to step on toes here, but WildThing do you ever answer a question with anything but a plug for xsperformance? Are they a paid advertiser on OSO?

These forums are here for questions and answers. An occasional referral to someone if there are no answers to be found.

I'm not trying to start anything, just giving you a heads up!

If it is a '99 it should be the Brazil unit. The Saginaw's were used much earlier. --- Jer

Yea there is a color difference as well... I dont remember what it is but if you call CPP they are great help.

Re: Brazilian or Saginaw steering valve
 

I found that I needed a saginaw valve. I have no idea why checkmate would have this on a 99 boat, considering that system was discountinued in 94! OH well. The install has been a pain, just like anything you do in a boat. I know a couple of guys who have the XS system, seems to be nice. I have heard the wait for parts or systems is weeks out. I can't wait that long, especially for the kind of coin that a steering system costs. And for those who say order it in the winter, nope to busy snowmobiling! :evilb:

I have the valve you need in perfect condition. Used it on my boat with the hydraulic assist for one year before upgrading to full hydraulic.
