Since my last cancer surgery my left arm had lost a lot of strength the stick steering on my boat with a 50 hp merc 4 stroke had always been tough to steer finally got to be to much bought a hydra steer stick steering and in the process of installing it now has anyone used this system before or have any experience with it just curious project is going well might even be able to finish it tomorrow wish me luck.
Hope you get it finished quickly and it is exactly what you need. Never had much dealings with remote steer boats until I got the one I own now.
Good luck and let us know how it goes.
Hyd. steering project went well can now steer the war eagle without using both arms Life is good.
How about a picture of it.
Nothing to see except hyd. ram on motor all else completely hidden.Quote:

Quite a price drop since I first checked on it.
How involved was the installation? I’ve got a bum shoulder and it’s starting limit how much I can run my little Tracker stick steer. I’d really like to get a little bigger boat, rig it up like the stick steers at Andalusia Marine. That would require a hydraulic setup for sure.Quote:
