Hydraulic steering
This is a personal choice but we believe that hydraulic (power) steering isn't essential up to 100hp. Above this the need becomes increasingly obvious and at 150hp and above probably essential. Installed cost will be between £500 and £1000. It's expensive but the difference is very much like power steering on a car, once you've had it you won't want anything else!
Choosing an engine
If you want to potter around the estuary in a small boat then you can choose the minimum size of engine recommended by your boat manufacturer. If you want the boat to ‘plane’(skim along the surface at close to horizontal aspect) then you will need more power so you will need at least 6hp, even for an inflatable and of course more for a traditional fiberglass boat.
