Hi there Marc, which of your products would you recommend for a 5.0 Metre RIB with a two stroke Yamaha 90 hp? Ideally a package including all parts.

hey there - for this I would recommend the BayStar, kit part # HK4200. This will come with everything that you need and will be a nice addition to this boat

thanks
Marc

No feedback steering would be fine for a 5m with a 90hp, it'll be alot cheaper than hydraulic too.

hey there - I will look into this for you. I should clarify that I am the hydraulic tech rep, so my knowledge with the cable systems is not as extensive as that of hydraulic, but I will look into this for you

Didn't want to step on your toes, don't get me wrong hydraulic would be lovely but if your on a budget NFB cable will do the job fine.

Thanks Marc, Thanks Chewy, I guess I'll check out the price difference and make the decision from there. The hydraulic should be neater on the transom right?

The hydraulics will be a neater install but alot dearer.

I upgraded from NFB to hydraulic on my old 5.8m with a 90 Suzi. It was a vast improvement, so I'd say, if you can afford it then there is no contest. Go hydraulic.
