Super glad that you enjoyed the video. I was having his products after installing them and getting some experience and testing them out it’s important to follow up with people’s opinions of the products so super happy that you appreciate the video.

Thanks for watching and for the feedback. I will try to incorporate more slow motion in future videos.

We’re so glad that the video was helpful. Have you tried it out yet?

So the main way is by what the manufacturer says on the box. Now I know that sometimes manufactures lie but when you see the manufacturer with the badge ISO 9001, this indicates a promise to quality at the highest level. ISO 9000 and one is a group that has rules the companies have to follow if they wanna have this badge. So because this company does have the ISO 9001 badge then the information that is given about the product in my opinion I would believe. Other than that in order to do testing you need special equipment which I don’t have in the average person doesn’t have so no real other way to know. That we’re aware of.

Sorry it’s takin some time to get back to you. So the main reason why we went with the this version of the kit is that from what I remember the first kit was up to 60 hp whereas for this one goes up to 150 horses and our boats able to take a 75 horse motor so getting this version set us up for future repowering with a larger motor. Also checking the reviews between the this version and the smaller version is that the smaller version had a lot of bad reviews. We’re super happy that we went with the with this version. Also I never hurts to over engineer things that way it lasts longer but again that’s just our opinion.

Thanks for sharing your info. We hope that this will help someone. Also we’re glad that you found our video helpful.

Hey @tomm5827 thanks for your question. Everything in the kit is stainless steel except the backing plate for the steering wheel pump hope that helps

Hey @6ithstage845 I can’t exactly remember where we stopped for lunch but it was one the little turn offs

Hey! @nikolasperisteridis222 thank you for the kind comment. We haven’t gone to a bigger boat we’re still in the same bayliber. But if we do get another boat we would definitely doing this mod again.

Hey @ShortbusRejects, Take a look at the time stamp 3:08, That's when I started running the wire. For the hatch, I followed the factory wiring harness pass through the rubber tube then went to the driver side and along the floor to the front up into the dash and to the radio. There are many ways to do this, but this is how I did it. Hope this helps.

@416Expedition I apologize, the time lapse got me. Thanks

@ShortbusRejects no worries.

Hey @dwayneroberts6616, If you do not have access to run the lines through your boat, then yes what you just explained is the best way to run the hydraulic lines. I know some boats get really tight for space. Thanks for the tip. stay safe.

Ya I'm super happy that it worked out. The system is surprisingly great. Let me know what you think when your get your installed. Take care.

As the season is coming to an end, and having quite a bit of miles put on the boat, the steering has been great. This is one of my favorite upgrades to the boat. Super happy with it.

Hey @reverendrestomod5247, check out this video, it will give you all the info you need. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJ-8oGWAj7JlsLc

Thank you so much, that means a lot. We're glad you enjoyed the video!

Thanks for watching the video! The brand name of the deck is Eonon. Im not 100% happy with it so I may be looking for a different deck soon.

Thanks for your question @GeneFleming-c8x. There are so many "rebranded" systems, but for the most part they are based on the idea. Note: you might need 2 people for this. So to recenter your wheel, what I was told was to: - First center the motor, take note on which way and how much your wheel is off. - Turn the wheel the opposite way of the off set until you can not turn the wheel anymore. - Open the bleeder screw for the side that you turned your wheel towards. - Turn the wheel of the amount of the off set. - Close the bleeder screw. E.g... If the wheel if a quarter turn to the left off, them turn the wheel to the right all the way. open the bleeder screw and turn the wheel to the right a quarter turn. close the bleeder screw. That is what I did and for the most part it worked. But the wheel doesn't center all the time when I driving. My OCD starts going crazy as my wheel isn't straight. So I think I am going to buy one of those boating wheels that has no reference to being straight! You see them more on sail, and large fishing boats. They have something like 6 spokes! I am not sure if there is a way to have the wheel straight. This is the best solution that I have. If you do find a better solution, please let me know. Stay safe out there.

@@416Expedition Thank you for the information, I will give it a try and report back. Just to clarify....in your example where the wheel is a quarter turn to the left off. You turn the wheel all the way to the right then open the bleeder. Do you continue turning the wheel to the right an additional quarter turn with the bleeder open (and not turn the wheel back to the left with the bleeder open)? I know what you mean about the OCD thing, makes me crazy.

So you can't just unscrew the steering wheel lift it up and install it so that it's centered? Is just a little off when the splines align on the steering shaft?

Not this type, there is "key" on the shaft and then on the wheel side, there are only 2 spots where the "key slide into.

So I'll be turning all the way until I can't then open the bleeder screw, turn the quarter turn, stop then close the bleeder screw.

Hey @dwilk1319. Where would I connect the ground to? As of right now it is to the neg battery post. This is a tricky thing as a boat doesn't real have a "ground" or anything really that is metal like a body of a car. I also have the ground from the neg battery post going to the motor block. The biggest help so far was disconnecting the antenna!

Hey @slagletoby. You are very welcome. This is the second hydrofoil that I am using. The first one was on the other motor before I repowered (Motor swapped) our boat. I am using the "StingRay HydroFoil Classic 2 Senior 40-300 HP" Here's a link: amzn.to/3z85eEx Also here's an install video that I did: Current Content: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2XKfXmio8qjgLs Older Content: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXeygJqmerBjerc

@@416Expedition thank you 🙏

You are welcome@@slagletoby

Hey @jeffenglishsetter8339. Ok good to know. Now we know what I'm doing this weekend!! Ya don't want to blow any seals. Thanks for the info @jeffenglishsetter8339.

Hey @NuthaRedneck , Thank you for your question and for watching the video. It took me about 4 hrs! The hardest part of the whole thing was removing the old steering cable system. There wasn't enough space between the motor and the haul to remove the main Stainless Steele rode that goes into the tilt tube. So I had to make a choice either remove the motor or cut the rod! I did a steering swap for my friend pontoon boat. That went so much quicker, 2 hours.

Hey @fdyhdfhy so no ot didn't ned to be lifted. I actually enjoy the height of the trailer as it means that I do not have to back into the water as far as before to either launch or retrieve our boat! So it is working great for us. Thank you for your comment and for watching our video.

Thank you. It was. Thank you for your comment and for watching our video.

Hey @LeoWhelchel-ug1hd , Thanks for your comment. That's great to hear. and knowing that this item works that well on a 115ho motor is very cool to know. I was thinking that there might be a difference when going higher in HP then mine (60HP), maybe be the steering might feel heavier. But from what you are saying there is no change in performance. Thank you again for sharing. I'm loving mine steering as well.

Hey @jahnk393ify . Unfortunately I would not be able to give you a straight answer. I you might have to do some research to find out what fluid to use. Every province, state, and country has their own rules on what you can use on your boat. I went to princes auto to their hydraulic section and asked them to help me out. The gentleman there was able to recommend the fluid that I can use as they will be formular with your local laws on this topic.

just use Quiksilver steering fluid youll be fine

Hey @angstrommanagement3016 . Dang, didn't know that! Good to know for the next time. Thank you for commenting.

@@416Expedition hey no sweat! Ive used it for years in all my installs, just put the same Vevor on my new jonboat build and watched your video which was very helpful, cheers!

Hey @@angstrommanagement3016 . That's great to hear that you like it. So far I really enjoying this product and super happy that we got it. I'm glad to hear that you found the video helpful. Thanks again for watching the video and leaving a comment. Stay safe.

Hey @robokiss7822, thanks for the tip. It's great tonhear that your system is still working after a year. I agree about what fluid you used! I just installed the same unit onto my buddies pontoon boat with a 90hp merc. He's happy with it as well. We did what you said in the bleeding process. It's easier when theres 2 ppl doing it! Lol. Also, thanks for watching and leaving a comment.

You're so welcome @danielschultz9767.

From what I have gathered it seams so, but I couldn't justify spending $100 CAD a quart. The price had me turning away very quickly so I didn't do to much research on this product.

@@416Expedition that's crazy expensive. It's about 30/qt US

@@mychaelmitchell4632 That's like $40/qt CAD, if is was like that, then I good with that! We're getting shafted up here!!!!😢😢

Hey @mychaelmitchell4632, thanks for the question. I have not had any issues so fare with the joints or the system. No leaks. When I spoke to the hydraulic guys, they said that it shouldn't hurt it. So that's why I went with it. There's also a rubber "O" ring that seals the joints. I just wanted the tape there to keep water from getting into the threads.

Hey @larryWebb-gv8dz thank you for your question. Charging a lithium battery with a solar panel charger designed for SLA (Sealed Lead Acid) or GEL batteries is not recommended. Lithium batteries require a different charging profile compared to SLA or GEL batteries. Using the wrong charging option can damage the lithium battery, reduce its lifespan, or even cause safety issues. Lithium batteries typically need a specific charge controller designed for their unique requirements, including precise voltage and current control and proper balancing of the cells. Here's what you should do: Check the Charger Specifications: Look at the charger’s manual or specifications to see if it has a setting specifically for lithium batteries. Some chargers are versatile and have different settings for different battery types. Use a Lithium-compatible Charge Controller: If your solar charger does not have a lithium setting, you can use a lithium-compatible charge controller. This controller will manage the charging process according to the needs of lithium batteries. Consult the Battery Manufacturer: Check the lithium battery's manual or consult the manufacturer for recommended charging parameters and ensure your charger can meet those requirements. Charging lithium batteries correctly is crucial for safety and performance. If your current charger does not support lithium batteries, investing in a proper lithium-compatible solar charge controller is the best course of action.

I hear you, your going to love boating. I stared working on my boat because of how much money shops are charging to do work! We're super happy that this video helped you out. Stay safe out there.

Its always best to be careful when you are doing your own work.

Hey @Seventizz , You got it! It get's even tighter when you have larger boats going through. Even having a smaller boat, it can feel overwhelming.

Hey @lynettesprague287 . Thanks you for taking the time to watch our video and your leaving your question. I don't see why you couldn't do the work with the boat in the water. I would just be super carful about dropping your tools or parts in the water! Perhaps have something floating that could catch your stuff just incase if you drop something. Let me know how it goes. Stay safe.

Hey @cesarguzman5713 I did a follow up video with my thoughts on this steering system. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6LShYqZbrufobM Check it out....

Yes it does!

No problem 👍

Hey @mra4107 thanks for dropping by and leaving you question. We're in the middle of filming the video of our thoughts. But I can say that as of right I'm really happy with this product and it is performing how it's advertised. Definitely making boating through the marina and rivers and anywhere that you have to constantly turn the wheel much easier. Our cable system was really bad, so we had to fight to turn the boat. No issues as of yet, which is great, I'll get into a more in-depth review and my thoughts on this product. Stay tuned for the next video.

Lol did you figure that out by the colour?

Cadmium, does it rust? I just kind of wanted to see SS for that backing plate. I like to try to set thingings up so that they last as long as they can. I go by "Plan and plan again, then execute." I've seen ppl try and rotate the T peace and then snap it right at the threads! I just wanted to show that you could swap the connection without damaging anything. Just double-check the tilt tube inner diameter of your motor and that it will work with the kit you want. From what I remember there was 3 kids, a small medium and large. I thought mine was gonna be the small kit. But after reviewing the Inner diameter of the tilt tube, it ended up being the medium kit, which is the one that I got, so just pay attention to that. Thanks again for watching the video and leaving a comment and your questions.

I want to put one on my 90 Honda. Hope I can find the parts bc I hear it's different than other outboards.

Hey @mdorris71 Dang that is a really great seat to watch the fire works! Also if your able to sleep overnight on the water your going to miss out on all the traffic. Lucky. Great planning.

Hey, I'll be releasing a video of my thoughts. stay tuned for that one.

Hey @americanzacke . Thanks for watching the video and asking you question. The deck that I have in my Yukon it's by Enon. Honestly, I'm not to happy with this deck! Just above the screen, the molding that the Yukon has pops out a bit because it snaps to the deck! it's as if the mounting points for the factory molding on the deck is about a 1/4 inch too narrow. It's not horrible but I wouldn't recommend this deck! Now for the camera, I would recommend this one! I love the look. It gives off a stock vibe. But unfortunately it doesn't look like Amazon has them in stock! But I'll send you some links still. Canada: amzn.to/4c7aqXA Outside of Canada: amzn.to/4c7aTJk
