Steering is a trade off. I've had hydraulic and cable and cable is not so bad. I put a NFB 4.2 on my 20' with a 115hp and am pretty happy. What I like about hydraulic is it is easy to steer. What I like about the cable is it stays where it is when I let go of the wheel. We used to actually bungee the Seastar wheel to the t-top on my old boat when all day tuna trolling which was a real pain. I did have autopilot but it was a bad system and quit on me so back to bungee, lol. What usually makes cable steering over tight is tight radius bends. I'm having no trouble WOT trimmed in or out with steering. If your having trouble at speed, maybe the anode tab needs to be adjusted?
