The only reason we ALL don't have hyd sterring is the cost, which is of no concern for a man of your means. ;D

I sure wish I had it. Need I remind you of the cable that snapped on me at 28mph last summer? A 150 with a NFB helm generates a lot of torgue on the cable inside the helm. Needless to say I don't trust the cable any more. I would feel much better with hydraulic.

My Sea Ox has it and I love it!!

The boat drives it self!! I set it stright and walk around the deck and she stays stright!

I was a little worryed when I tryed it in the yard, seemed to be a lot of turns to move it, but after I got in the water drove just like anyother boat I have had, but smooth!

I am glad it came that way cause I would never be able to afford it now!!
The perrsure guage is rotted off so I ave no idea what its putting out?? But it says that it shoild be about 25 pounds.

I like the SEASTAR/BAYSTAR sytems by TELEFLEX, the old HYNAUTIC systems with the remote reservoir are not high on my list of likes. I've had nothing but problems with the HYNAUTIC systems, the biggest being if you lose pressure you lose steering. When TELEFLEX bought out HYNAUTICS they dropped there system and offer retrofit kit's to use the newer SEASTAR helm's. If you lose fluid in a SEASTAR you can put some back in it on the water and get home. If you lose pressure in a HYNAUTIC your stuck unless you have an air pump on board.
