HI- I have a 115 optimax and its on an 18' boat. I have no problems with any of it except a throttle control issue that I am working on but the motor is fine. I broke my neck 8 yrs ago and my arms start to hurt and feel weak sometimes so I try to avoid that happening if I can. I was thinking of adding power steering to this motor. If I hadn't gotten hurt- I wouldn't even think about it----its relatively easy to steer, but sometimes when getting on the trailer or in tight spots it can be a challenge.
Has anyone installed power steering on an outboard--and if so, what brand/model would you recommend and how hard/easy is it to install? OR- should I avoid it at all costs? Are they (PS units) reliable and if the PS fails can you still steer? Thank you
