Custom/Hybrid Best steering set up on RRP cast pole?

[Endo51092]

Hey guys,

Looking for some input on steering systems. I'm about to get to where I need to buy my set up, and I'm curious what others are running. I know I want to run 50mm rise fatbars, so that narrows down options a bit. I'm also running in salt water, and I've heard mixed opinions on systems when run in salt..

So my main possibilities are as follows:
RRP fat bar system
Cold Fusion fat bar
Ada system

Just wanting some info from those who may have used some set ups. Thanks guys!

Can't go wrong with cold fusion. I've run that in salt for a couple years now and just put it on an rrp cast setup and still works like it's supposed to.

ATP hadn't crossed my mind. I'll have to look into it.

Is the cold fusion you are running the version that just uses stock bushings?

 

[jo5hi3]

either stock bushing or sealed bearing is the only way to go...nothing else will last...

Yeah, I know. I wouldn't ever think to run anything else in salt. It'd get destroyed in no time

The system has a grease fitting right? How often do you service it if so?

Yes it does, pretty rare to service if you keep it tight with grease.

Good to know.

ya i service mine often, just new grease never had a bearing fail, i have tried other steering set ups and by far the best (for me) is rrp.

Just installed an ADA sealed bearing system on my cast RRP pole this week. Pretty nice piece that is a huge upgrade over the modified UMI that it replaced.

Been using this in saltwater for a while. Using a RRP cast pole which is good enough for now. May jump on the ovp and newer billet pole on another hull 'assembly'.

• Blowsion billet steering with 1 1/8" clamp
• 50mm Risers

No issues yet

RRP system. Rode hard for two years, 95% freshwater, 5% salt. Just grease it once in a while and you'll be good.

ATP looks bling. Just put complete ( pole , mini, bars) w/ a 96-07 cable on my '13 sj.
Still fiddling getting it set-up. Moved the cable closer to nozzle but still not perfect.
Will try the ATP nozzle, heard positive things

Yeah, I was looking into the ADA fat bar system after doing some research. I think I'm stuck between that and the RRP system right now.

I just got the sealed steering system without the fat bar.

I honestly don't think you can go wrong with any of these new systems so really it just comes down to what you prefer or can get a good deal on.

Yeah, it seems that way. I've been cutting a few corners to get it on the water, but I really don't wanna scrimp too much where it matters. I've thought about non fat bar set ups, but with my pole being on my hood, I think I'd end up with busted knuckles
