I did this on a 17' Montauk seven years ago with a Seastar 1.7 cu. in. cylinder system. Subsequently, they came out with a far cheaper "everything included" system called Baystar, with cut to fit hoses, rated for up to 150 hp. OB's single engine instillation.

Anybody have any experience with this Baystar hydraulic steering system? What am I losing between this and the far more expensive Seastar system?

Any help appreciated; thanx
