Steering Questions
 
Me again,
Which hydraulic steering systems are you guys running? What should I be looking at? Add on systems, full hydraulic. I would like my boat to be very controlled and well mannered at all speeds. Let me know what you have tried, and what you would buy if you could do it over again...Please list manufactures, systems, where to find the best deals, etc...
Thanks,

Currently do not have it - am looking at IMCO and Mayfair when I repower, of course Latham is nice but prob the most expensive. I look forward to some other responses too.....

OK, now I have questions on which Zeiger system to run. What is the difference between the add on and a full system? What is the internal steering system? What do I gain from a single or double ram?
Here are the systems I found:
Zeiger Marine
- Tilt Helm System
- Internal Hydraulic Steering System
- Add On Single Drive Single Ram
- Add On Single Drive Double Ram
- Full Power Single Drive Single Ram
- Full Power Single Drive Double Ram

Thanks, looking forward to find out these differences.

Tilt Helm Its Nice To adjust The angle Of The Wheel Your Choice??? Add On Is your stock system Inside The Boat Cable To the rear Not A Good Choice Still Have A Little Play In the wheel////Full System Is The Best Choice You Can Have Hydraulic All The way To the Back //// Single Or Dual /// your Better Off With The dual cyl On The Outside Equal Load On the drive When Steering We Usually Put the Full Hydraulic Dual Cyl On The Y2Ks Real good system Easy To install Kit Comes With Everything You need////////

Re: Steering Questions
 
Will the Hydraulic tilt helm eliminate the cable system? Then at that point, would the add on system become a full hydraulic system?

Re: Steering Questions
 
That Is The Full System You Can Order Tilt Or Non Tilt Units Once You Put The Hydraulic Helm In Its Full Power Hydraulic......Its the only Way To Go ..... With this System Or anybody elses //////
