It is mounted on a novurania 18' RIB that is in pretty poor shape and I am getting the seastar steering and controls/instruments as well. I am basically going to strip the Novurania down and get rid of it. I have a lot of work to do to the seafari before the motor goes on...mostly cleaning, painting and rigging. Looking forward to it!

Northbay,
Dam that sucks... was really hoping that Decarb would do the trick for you. The yamaha will be a great engine. You did exactly what I do. Buy the whole boat... pull the engine, and part out the boat and trailer.

If u are installing steering... The 4.2 No feedback Cable is more than enough for that 115. I could not fathom a reason for installing a Seastar Hydraulic steering if its not needed. Just more things to go wrong on the water.

I have run the No Feedback Set up on a Johnson 225 ocean runner and it worked great. If you like eating Spinach forget the Hydraulic for a 115 not needed....

Keep us posted.
Robert
