Boat: 95 Nordic 23' sprint. 60MPH now (stock), may increase HP later.
I'm looking at adding external steering. With my budget the choicesa are a full hyd single ram or dual add-on ram system.
I like the idea of the full hyd system. I think this system should be a quicker more positive responce, but lacking the support.
I like the dual ram due to I would like the boat in the 70's to 80's someday.(save-it RD, no input from you ) At my boat size and speed when is dual really needed??
I'm leaning toward single full Hyd, but I see a lot of 60 to 70mph stock boats with dual ram. Ex. Eliminators
If you go with dual ram tie in system, it will be no quicker or positive than your existing steering. The cable will still kick the twin rams. If you get the single ram, full hydraulic, you will only be supporting one side of the drive. In terms of safety, the twin ram assist is better than the single full hydraulic. If it were me, I would wait until I had the extra $ and just step into the twin ram full hydralic. Don't get me wrong, the twin ram assisted is an awesome system, but coming from someone who has drive both assisted and full hydraulic, there is no comparison! Just my $.02
Good luck.
