Hydraulic Steering (390/400)?

Does the 390/400 come with hydraulic helm with the Merc sterndrives? I don’t mean the hydraulic assist which all sterndrives have. I am referring to a hydraulic helm.

I am done with the sloppy cable.

@Dream_Inn hoping you can help !

Re: Hot water and water heater

Definitely check the little screen on the faucet output. I chased a weak faucet on my RV, which ended up being a .79 cent screen that was clogged

Re: Bimini top poles bent

It won't ever be as strong as original when you heat it up and bend it. Find an upholstery shop to replicate the poles. It won't hurt NEAR as bad as new upholstery for the bimini.

Unscrew and check the screen on the faucet, it could be clogged.

Re: Hot water and water heater

If your water heater is rotted out inside then yes, the raw water circulating will pressurize your water system and it could back flow to the cold side of a faucet.

Re: Fuel filters and such

I thought the same thing but was told they are not approved for inboard engines just outboards.

Supposedly you're not supposed to add an extra filter in a mercruiser system that uses cool fuel. Engineers claim it over works the fuel pump.

The OEM screw on is an water separator filter iirc, just doesn't have the inspection bowl. A bowl isn't something you want hanging next to a hot gas exhaust manifold.
