One thing that I forgot to mention is the advisability of getting a cable steering guard. I've had them for years, and ever since I started using them truthfully I've never had a steering cable failure. I use the widget, which is now called the steersman cable guard. Basically it's a nut with an o ring and a zirk fitting that fits on the end of the tilt tube. It keeps the salt, dirt and water out and the greese in. At the risk of sounding like spam, if you're interested go to www.steersman.com and check them out. Given the cost of even the cheapest steering cable, the small amount of money these things cost is well worth the protection.

once you go with a hydraulic, you'll never go back to a cable on a big motor. I wouldn't recomend a single cable steering on any V6 or bigger. I have a single cable no feed back on my Mckee witha 60. The teleflex if hgih, I've installed some u flex systems and have been pleased with them. The Uflex is usually cheaper in price than the teleflex

Hydro
Is the way to go.... Figure a cost per day based on 7 years and anything starts to look good. That's how I talked myself into that lenco LED switch dealio thingamabob. I love it though. Hydraulics last a very long time too. 2 cents
