Teleflex or not.

I'm running a 225 hp on cable and it works fine.

Jim, that antique Yamie is so worn out it only makes 83 HP anymore. You could use pully steering on that thing, son. In 'Dog Years" it's like 210 or something! It does keep the mosquito population tamped down while yur deep trolling for them Stump Knockers and Shell Crackers on the lake though.

Haha! probably true! But the SeaCraft hull is so efficient that the 83 hp motor pushes it to 39 mph (per GPS)...

I would recommend the Teleflex Cable 4.3 no Feedback. In my world too many things that can go wrong with Hydraulic and then your Screwed.

For what its worth been running Cable my whole life on engines up to 225 with no issues at all. On the other hand, some of these Softies on the Forum need to eat more spinach and grow some Muscles to turn a Real Steering system.

Matter of Choice for Most, but for me, I choose the Cable and have never had issues... Getting ready to Bolt a 200 HP up to my new to me 20' Sceptre. Just installed 4.3 no Feedback on it yesterday.

We put a SeaStar hydraulic on the 23, replacing the original Hynautic. Awesome. We are also replacing horrible cable steering on the 19 Bowrider to BayStar hydraulic. In my opinion, if you don't do anything stupid, like install it improperly, it's the best possible experience.
