Add-on vs. full hydraulic steering
Can anyone explain the pros and cons between the two? I just built a 700+ hp 540 and would like to keep the gimbal a little safer on my bravo until I get a new hull/drive. I know the full system has it's own hydraulic where the add-on uses your current power-steering system.

I just converted to full hydraulic and will never go back, The steering is so smoooth, no surprises when running. My wife thinks we got a new boat. she said it made all the difference in the world. There is no effort in driving the boat weather it be loading on the trailer or running 90 down the lake.

I had add on on my Pantera and have a full system to the helm on my AT. The full system is much nicer. The add on was hard to turn at idle and the steering wheel still pulled to one side under load.
