Steering?
Hi guys, looking at an engine swap for my Valiant DR750. Presently have a merc 150 2 stroke and planning on exchange for Honda 225.
I am wondering if anyone knows whether I am going to have to swap out the hydraulic steering unit as well? My concerns are if the unit is man enough for the bigger motor and also are the fittings the same?
Hope you can advise.

Sorry, Courageous, I don't have any data on the Ultraflex rams. I'm sure you'll be able to find something on Google though.

That's coz Seastar is manufactured by Teleflex, which is a different company to Uflex!
