No Feedback Steering

[chumbucket]

The no feedback systems are very good. It just seems that with almost every boat I've owned, I stat having steering problems after a couple of years. If you don't completely remove, clean and lube the cable end as well as the tube on the motor, things start binding up. I'm very strict about lubing things often too. The jacket on the steering cable on this boat is starting to split open. I'm thinking right now that I'm going to bite the bullet and install Hydraulic steering. Teleflex has the Baystar hydraulic system complete for as low as $531.00 (lowest I've found so far). The Baystar system will handle motors up to and including 150 HP. The next step is the Teleflex Seastar system which jumps up to close to $1000.00. There's no way I'd spend $1000.00, but I'm seriously considering the lower priced system.
I had hydraulic steering on my previous boat and nothing compares to the ease of this type of setup.
