There is no comparison between the stock merc steering system and a full hydraulic system. You'll never realize how much slop is in your stock cable system, even if brand new, until you get a full hydraulic system. Night and day.

On another note...both the Imco full hyd. I installed in my Velocity and the Latham on my formula return to center straight/straight with non symetrical wheels. I don't get that rap as I've not seen it? But I don't hold my wheels to lock/bypass either, as it serves no purpose in boat manuevering and is hard on the pump.

Now do you want a polished tilt helm with that?? Twin drives or single, bar no bar? Hoses through the transom brackets or seperate hull fittings? How much for used off e-bay?? I tell ya, you write too many words, ya git in trouble, not enouph words, ya git in trouble.....................

Another reason for hydraulic steering is to gaurd against gimbal ring breakage/loss of connection to the steering cable which is more common than straight breakage of the steering cable.
