2. Does anyone still use traditional steering system or do I need to use a hydraulic
I suppose hydraulic is most popular, but for now on my 20’ Seafari with 150 ETEC still happy with my Teleflex Non-feedback mechanical steering. Consider your egress hole from the bilge and alignment with the engine pivot tube. If your engine is too high for the cable to align it would drive you to hydraulic. I have only driven hydraulics a couple times but thought there was not enough resistance to suit me. Didn’t like PS on my Corvettes either!
