    24 Superboat CC 300R steering

    I’m in the process of rigging my boat and had a few questions about what steering setups people have been having success with. The motor is a 300R with a torquemaster lower and standard front tiller arm steering. I would’ve loved to get a wingplate HD motor but this was what was available and I also needed a TQMaster lower which is not available on a wingplate motor from my understanding. I bought the UFLEX silversteer UC130 steering kit which also came with a fixed 25cc hydraulic helm, the cylinder is extremely heavy duty compared to some others I have seen from seastar. The motor is mounted on a seastar extreme 12” hydraulic jackplate. My question is should I add Mercury Verado power steering to this setup? If so should I use the 40cc or 33cc helm? I really think I will need a tilt helm so if I just keep it standard hydraulic should I order the 33cc UFLEX silversteer tilt helm instead of the included 25cc fixed? I also have a seastar Sport Plus 40cc tilt helm laying around but it is only rated to 1000psi compared to the 1500 psi of the silversteer helm. I am concerned about the rigidity of the tiller arm steering compared to a wingplate setup and have heard adding power steering will stiffen everything up but not sure if this is true. This isn’t a race boat and should only do maybe 70-75mph. My prior closed deck 24 Superboat had a 300xs and marine machine wingplate setup and it was great. These boats tend to chine walk at high speed so I know how important steering feedback and countersteering is to be able to control these boats properly. Thank you for any advice in advance.
