After today, I'm with you Van. Last spring I had the end seals replaced on my Seastar cylinder. Over this season the helm started leaking, so I was prepared to replace that over the winter. Today I winterized the engine and in the process ended up accidentally breaking a hydraulic line at the cylinder. The mechanical NFB system seems like a good alternative. Even though I'm running a 225 Johnson, I think it will still be pretty manageable. My buddy has regular mechanical Teleflex on his 200 Yammie and it isn't all that much worse than hydraulic. Hydraulic is great, but there's just too much to go wrong.
