New Hydraulic Steering Installed

On my 03 Classic / 200 Opti- Had my new hydraulic steering installed to replace my cable system and WOW. I have my best numbers to date on my classic with 200 Merc Opti. GPS 73.7 mph, 5800 rpm. The biggest difference is the ability to keep the boat balanced, as my little twitches are not resulting in over-correcting- as they were with my cables. Keeping the nose balanced is a breeze now.

I know there is 2 things I have learned with bigger motors I wont go without. 1 – Hydraulic steering 2 – Hotfoot and trim on the wheelI cant hardly drive one without those options…I guess I am spoiled that I never had to do it any other way.Congrats, that is a great setup and an absolute blast to run!Judd Lasiter
