Going hydraulic..........that's right......hydraulic.

And maybe while I'm at it.........swap out the 200 HO for the 557 hp outboard. Figure should run 75 mph...maybe more.

That's my cousin........" he's got the fastest boat in the whole D county" !!!
( name the movie ? )

Ran with the hydraulic steering 1st time Saturday, and can report:

1. Eliminated torque steer - even when turning from start and accelerating together.
2. Holds course much better, no tendency to turn to starboard.
3. More turns of the wheel full right to left........no big deal but may add the knob on wheel.
