Vevor vs Seastar
Hi all
I'm adding hydraulic steering to my ride (18' Charger SK, 225 OMC), and I was just wondering if anyone has experience with the Vevor systems? I know that they are a splash of the Seastar systems, I'm just wondering if they are any good.

Updated my opinion from the post below! Skip it and go SeaStar.

I bought a Vevor system. Defective out of the box. Would not warranty it. Took 6 months before I finally got $100 refund. They are garbage. Very cheap knockoff. I paid $600 for complete garbage. Do not cheap out on steering

Love my seastar. Steering is one area you don’t want cheap imo. Speaking of which be sure to get the ARP steering arm bolt too. Well worth it
