Well it looks like the cables and the control box are bad on my steering
unit, to the point I couldn't get the boat on the trailer in 5 tries, and
finally had to drop the trolling motor. They want over 100.00 per cable and
150.00 for the control box I am told, about 400.00 - 450.00 bucks in all to
replace it. The steering wheel is about all that is funtional according to
the folks that looked at it.
So here is my question I looked at upgrading to Hydraulic Steering with the
Teleflex Baystar line, but I dont really want to throw a grand in it at the
moment. I did find a company called Hydrive that offers Hyd. Steering for a
shade over 500.00, seems to be a very comparable system and the price seems
very nice. Has anyone used the Hydrive system and if so how does it rate?
anyt additional information is appreciated.
Also is there any other hydraulic steering manufactuers out there that I
might have missed? Beside Teleflex and Hydrive.
Thanks
