It has been some time since I have been here mainly because of health reasons causing me to miss all of the 2017 season here in Maine. If any of you know Maine the season is relatively short - April to October depending on ice out and ice up. If we get five months were very lucky. Now the reason for my post:
I currently have a 90 Yamaha on a 2002 18 foot PolarKraft aluminum "High Performance", "Pro Bass" boat with Bay Star hydraulic steering. I'm repowering with a Yamaha SHO VMax 115 and the dealer tells me I should upgrade to a Sea Star system. Information for Bay Star says it has the capability to handle a 150 HP outboard. Has anyone used a Bay Star on a 150HP outboard and have you had any hydraulic steering problems. I think my dealer is thinking about blown seals or oil leaks. I figure I should stay with the Bay Star unit and if it fails then do the upgrade. Does any one have any input???? Thanks in advance. Fred
Oh Oh - no spell check!!!!!!!
