Jet Outboard Steering

If you ever used a PROPERLY installed hydraulic system, you would never use a cable system again. It is easy to make mistakes so you must do your arithmetic before you buy the parts. In the end, the cost difference is minimal. your assumption of similar maintenance between hydraulic and cable is flat wrong. There is much less maintenance on hydraulic systems. In fact, if designed and *installed correctly there is No maintenance, just occasional inspection. Steve "Bob La Londe" wrote in ... As I'm sure you are aware in a lot of bigger outboard applications it can be really hard to turn the wheel under high throttle due to side torque. *Its why a lot of (most?) bigger bass boats have hydraulic steering. *Any reason you can see not to go with dual cable push pull steering on with a jet lower unit? Obviously push pull cables require maintenance, but so do hydraulic systems. I'm probably going to wrap up the weld & rebuild on The Tin Can Too in the next couple months and I have a bigger project in mind. * I already have a decent push pull system laying around from another boat I cut up and threw in the dumpster a piece at a time. Is it recommended to use a cable or hydraulic system with outboard units. I am building aboat that is supposed to have twin 40's and I will need a steering system. which is better and easier to install with least amount of follow-on maintenance. |
