Dan,
I haven't read this thread in a while. The steering on my 170 was kinda easy... not super easy.. but easy. My 90HP Evinrude is a torque monster. If I wasn't holding on to the wheel good it could rip the wheel right out of my hand if I throttled up quick.
My steering cable started to get stiff so I decided to replace it. I thought about switching to the Baystar hydraulic steering, however cost and interference with my jack plate ruled that out. I settled on the NFB system instead. Tobe honest I was able to get a good deal that didn't cost much more than just the cable alone. Man I'm glad I decided to get the NFB. It makes driving the boat MUCH less stressful. I no longer have to hold pressure on the wheel to counteract the torque of the motor. The wheel doesn't not try to jerk out of my hand when I throttle up. I can let go of the wheel for short periods of time without the boat veering off course. By far the best upgrade I've made to the boat. I have some videos on my youtube page on replacing the cable and helm.
