Side ram steering
Im looking to put either the imco or latham side ram hydraulic steering on my boat for the spring i was wondering if the seastar helm works with either of them seeing as i have one in the garage or if you need to buy theirs? Thanks

you cannot use a pro helm and need at least a 2.4. I use one with a marine machine ram.

It will work but like mentioned above it will need to be the 2.4 helm!
The down side is you will have more turns from one side to the other but most times many never turn lok to lok anyway. The additional turns to one side just take a bit to get use to it, no a big deal though.
This is the setup I had.

The problem with a 2.0 helm (with out the reserve the verado ps pump has) the helm will suck air from lack of volume. At least that is what we have found.

Do you get good feedback from the wheel with this set up?

How does something like that happen?
