 |
|
Good afternoon all
I am thinking about switching to hydraulic steering on Sensei and I would like your thoughts on which one to get.
Seastar or Baystar
I have a 90 E-Tec on a 22 angler
There is about $300.00 difference ,Seastar being the higher cost.I may install 2nd helm station in cockpit at a later date.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated

Although the Baystar works fine, I would opt for the Sea Star. It is a bit heavier duty. Most of us with the Baystars find they are adequate. But they tend to leak a bit more than the SeaStar. I believe that adding the second helm will be easier with the Sea Star. I have seen it posted that you cannot add the second station with the Baystar. However, I suspect you actually can--might involve some valves...

When it comes to steering, vehicle or boat, I will gladly pay $300 more for a heavier duty system for the peace of mind of knowing I bought the best.
