hi all--

the Elephant's Child here with another stupid Q for those who've updated from their 120hp Murk to newer version: i assume i'll need to replace my steering system too? old one attached to steering arm on outdrive via sliding spring-loaded collar securing it onto a ball pivot. it's in perfect shape and i'm lazy, hence my Q.

related Q: if i do have to replace, anyone have any input on rotary vs rack-and-pinion system?

Changed the steering on my 16 SS from Rack to Rotary Today. I used a unit called ROTO ??? best I have seen to date. Rotary takes up a lot less space and avilable with no feed back from TelFlex .

thanks PS!

the Boat Demons kept me up last night, poring over catalogs and dreaming of hydraulic steering and an autopilot (apparently hyd steering makes autopilot much easier to install). for only slightly over what i paid for the boat.....:eek:
