Soon to be changing my doghouse to transom plates on the daytona. I'd like to only do this once. Sure looks like a nice setup, but pricey....

Just my .02 cents, I would use almost any steering system but Calgo. It might be o.k. for drag racing but in my book thats about it. I have driven hundreds of laps circle racing over the last 30 yrs. , and have never had a steering failure with anything but calgo. I have had calgo fail on three different boats, that were in great shape with low hours on the steering system.

Yes. There is zero slop in the steering.
I like mine. It's smooth and tight. I did have a cable fray on me but the sheathing had a nasty bend in it as it went thru the transom. TPR hooked me up with a new one and Tom (r.i.p.) pulled the tension for me, good as new!
There are a few V-drive guys here that have had theirs for many years. Is it because of the rudder vs nozzle.
I had a really tight steering after a few years. I really thought about this type of steering. Not much tension compared to my teleflex. No room for a rack & pinion.
I have a kinda fix for mine but it would be nice to have near effortless steering.

If you have slop in your steering, you need to fix/or replace it. My steering has no play in it and it's rack and pinion. BL AND it's not tight either!
