Steering on 200 Opti?

[Superjetjim]

Just swapped the Merc v6 150 on my boat to a Merc 200 Opti - I was running Teleflex cable steering with the 150 - is this Ok with the 200 or MUST I swap to hydraulic?

I'm not 'going mad' with the boat, just recreational use so not sure if the £££ are justified?

If you like cable, upgrade to the Teleflex twin system. If set up correctly, it's superb, and unlike hydraulic, it'll never fail on you!

Hmmm...

I know a lot more people with cable steering who have had problems (stuck cable/jammed helms/heavy steering/broken cables) than with hydraulic (leaky helm or ram.)
