Si-tex sp110 w/ mechanical drive or hydro drive?

Raymarine p70r head w/ x-10 corepack, hydro drive?

Right now I will be switching over to hydro steering unless someone has a positive experience with the mechanical Si-tex with will do 15,400# displacement. My boat has around 10,500# w/ Bravo 2 outdrive (which is bigger than normal).

Any comments would be great!

Forget it, I bought the Raymarine.

Did you end up converting to hydraulic or did you go with their universal drive system for mechanical drives?

Curious as I am looking for a system for my Amberjack w/power assist mechanical steering.

I am looking at Garmin GHP 12 with an octopus drive as well.

I'm going hydraulic. Highly recommended by my mechanic.

Hi Jake...

Do you have a single outdrive or twins?

I'm trying to figure out the best system for twins on my AJ that currently have power assist on one drive.

I have twin sterndrives. Mercruiser 4.3's. Power steering on starboard engine only. I usually troll with one engine only, alternating between both engines to try and keep hours close. Steering is quite easy with port engine(non power steering) while trollng so I am hoping the drive unit will be able to move the drives ok. When it gets a little rougher I will run starboard engine(power steering) until I have to run both when it gets nasty.
