hi all !! thanks for the previous help ive been given !! i would like to put hydraulic steering on my 5.3 Ocean Pro Humber with A Mariner 90 four stroke,as the current system is too heavy, what system do you recommend eg (seastar, etc etc) and are they to fit yourself??? cost is also a issue as i have saved loads by doing all the fun stuff myself, its actually good fun!! love some help on this one, also if its a known manufacturer i can get bits for it if reqd!!

I had this dilemma last year and ended up opting for the Hydradrive with their Admiral 101 helm and 'bull horn' type ram. Very similar to the Seastar, but it had a better lock to lock ratio and a neater steering helm for more or less the same money. I had heard good and bad reports about the seastar systems.

Oops, think I meant HyDrive.
