I repowered this last year with a 130 Etec and installed the Baystar hydraulic system, the reason baystar was I could cut the hoses to length myself with the Seastar system you order the hoses of the correct length. The baystar is supposed to be good up to 150 hp. The disadvantage to the Baystar is it is not as quick as the Seastar. It takes more turns lock to lock for a full turn than the Seastar. I just added a suicide knob and that solved that problem. Look online for either system, good start in your research.
