Depends on the boat... Are the controls for a single helm station or dual station?... <br /><br /> The mechanical controls work fine for a single station and in my opinion are simpleist and are easy to mantain and repair...<br /><br />Hydraulic and electric controls would be a better choice for dual station applications with hydraulic being my choice...

Since it is a dual station, I would opt for the hydraulic steering(Power Steering). Pretty much like you would have in an automobile. Barely no feedback and easy to maneuver. Hope this helps! Look below at the link for more info:<br /><br /> web page
