    Check each system for parts availability seems they need seals replaced on occasion. Mike you might go to BassBoat central. Might be some threads on it over there.

    Used seastar twice so far. No complaints. Never replaced a seal. Friend of mine had to once though. But he only uses his boat 4 or 5 times a year, I use mine a lot.

    Bay Star--Up to 150hp. This what Xpress uses on the 150's.
    SeaStar---150hp and up. Multiple engine boats use this one.
    Uflex- is what Xpress uses on single engines over 150HP engines.

    If you install one yourself, bring it over with the hydraulic fluid that comes with the system and I'll put the Teleflex purge machine on it for ya to make sure it's 100% air free and bled correctly---No Charge.

    I installed a Bay Star system on my Alweld. Pretty easy install. I'd take BRM up on the purge offer, that's a pita.
