I'm looking at upgrading the steering on the V-195 this spring. The existing rack/pinion single cable system is 30 years old and has some play in it. The drive is a Mercruiser #1 with a 302 Ford at about 225hp without power steering. The current plan is to install a new Teleflex rack system. I will be going with either the 141 single cable "The Rack" or the 151 no-feedback version. I have experience with the standard 141 setup since I installed one on my outboard powered boat last year. Very smooth system. <br /><br />Part of my goal is to make the 185 easier to drive so my wife can enjoy it more. Will NFB provide this? Do you lose the steering "feel" with a NFB system?
<br /><br />I have gotten so used to all the feedback in the steering, I drive partly by feel. It would be nice to take a cruise around the lake and not be tired from fighting the torque.
