Not sure, but a 140 GT may have power steering. If I had been close to re-engining probably would have done 25”..

sweet yeah I put hydraulic on last year a little baystar kit but it really does not fit well in there as is, I cant raise the motor all the way out with out crushing the splashwell
The g2 has internal steering.
The only pos I see in the Etech G2 over the G1 is that the steering, oil and lift are all onboard on the motor. The neg is thats more weight over that one spot Not huge but that g2 sits a little more back as well and I really dont want to fuck up the balance. I mean you can run mechanical cables to a box that converts it to a digital sig but why.
BUT
Im really not happy about the all digital control aspect neat and all but feel like a great way to get stuck with no way to fix in the middle of the nowhere. LOL
