Default Hydraulic Steering Kit

I have a 2013 Formula 292 Fastech. That said, What is everyone running for a Hydraulic Steering? I have been looking at the Mayfair Dual Bravo/Dual Ram Full Hydraulic Steering Kit. Is this a well made Kit? Are there better kits? Thank you....Dave

Has anyone install there own? The video looks straight forward. Definitely tight in the engine compartment on mine. I can't seem to price Latham's kit. Will look at Imco now.. Thanks for the response

I installed my Imco on my 292 2004. The most difficult part of the entire setup was getting the old steering actuator out of the boat. That sucked because you have no room to get to the bolt to remove the assembly.

Measure ten times so you only drill once.

Routing the hoses was fairly easy because you have all the access open in the gunnels.

It is a night and day difference.

Also depending on the boat, the rams will be located on the outside or in between the drives, I prefer inside if you have the room, much cleaner look.

I used the one from CP performance, great setup, hoses are tricky, suggest having those made locally with ends pressed on. The dash unit can be a pain depending on space and it needs to be totally flat, slightest bind will make it steer weird to say the least
