Sea Star hydraulic steering with power assist

[NCLakeboater]

In considering a 21' deck boat to be powered by a 150 hp outboard, I see that Sea Star hydraulic steering with power assist is offered as an option. Would there be a noticeable difference in steering at slow dock speeding speeds? The standard steering is Sea Star hydraulic steering.

With a 150, hydraulic steering is slightly overkill compared to straight cable. But a little nicer and easier to operate and no feed back. For docking, you don't need anything more. The power assist is for HI power and HI speed needs.

Thanks Don that's good to know.
