    300R Controls...

    Which controls do most folks buy when ordering a 300R - mechanical or the DTS? And any thoughts on either type of controls?

    Mechanical. I have the sea star pro steering. Hyper flow, how is the power steering, Did you install yourself, worth the cost?

    I went with the sea star pro steering, then went back and added the sea star power steering and I believe it's the bomb except for the additional two grand plus installation fees but I would do it again tomorrow.

    It has a soft feel to it and is real easy to over steer at the beginning until you get accustomed to not having to put a little forearm into it. I have had mine about 4 months and I would say it took me 4-5 outings to really get the hang of it and not to oversteer.
