I don't remember powerabout but this was done first by Cees van der Velden 1986 and today every F1/F2 boat have electric power steering but wires/cable.

Power steering on a boat and motor that small? We used to use bungee cord steering compensators. Once you had the tension adjusted correctly you could steer one handed very easily.

Same Velden boat with Merc power in Paris 1976.
A pretty unique late 1976 picture. Velden left Johnson Racing for Mercury Racing just before the Paris race.
Cees van der Velden/Bill Seebold in the #92 Velden/Marlboro/Merc T3 in Paris 6 Hours 1976.
I think they ended up fourth..
