I have dual cables on a bass boat that runs in the mid 70's. It is a bear to drive at speeds. I restored an 83 Eliminator Daytona last year and installed hydraulic steering. I'm still getting use to driving a cat, but the steering is a dream. No tork at the wheel, but a little hard to turn at top speed (96 on GPS). The only thing that I don't like is that the wheel doesn't return to center like cable does. That limits the type of tim switch that you can use. It can not be mounted to the wheel.
