GOOD SCORE Doug !
Motor end looks different from a Baystar ...
Think Uflex is owned by Teleflex ?

Ya the bracket is different. Not a 'pivot plate' a la Sea Star. Has an arm on the stb side of the ram. And the ram is square.?

Not sure if 'Ultraflex is part of Teleflex?

Once? Jeez

I'd love to go hydraulic on my CVX16. Maybe someday.

Looks like "Quick connects" on motor end ... good idea !

Fuzzbutt ...
Hydraulic steering allows you to mount motor any where you like. little to no torque steer.
New motors have it built in from factory.
Best money I have spent on my boat !

great score Doug...
i luv mine so far, really the only way to go on the glastrons with the narrow splash well.
Gregg, think those are the bleeders.

I believe the bleeders are under the rubber caps. 'Course I can't look now because I dropped it off at the house earlier ...

Uflex used to be a company right her in Sarasota called Hyanautics. They were bought a few years back by teleflex and they have branded under the Uflex name. They still manufacture here in Sarasota.  Doug, those are bleeders as well as quick couplers to power bleed the lines. That steering did work fine with the 115 etec, it just could not hang with the 150.
