200 hpdi on a 18

Bobber, No torque, I would not know how to act!!! When I had the bass boats, hydraulic steering was not being used except in work boats and larger crafts. You needed to let up on the throttle to make a left turn! I did not think about steering torque when I put the 150 on. I does just fine at cruising speeds with little trim but when you start to put the hammer down and add more trim, the torque comes in big time. I've driven a 42 ft. charter boat with hydraulic steering and it was nice, just a few more turns on the steering wheel to go left to right. Did the orig. steering wheel work on the new system? I'm seeing prices in the area of 700 to 900 dollars for the systems. I have a relative who has been nursing a worn out cable on his boat which has the same size and type as mine so maybe he will buy it if I give him a good price. I put it in the SC the same time I put the 150 on, 2 wks ago. Any idea's as to where to get the best price on a system? Butch
