UMI steering system. Best place to purchase???

[waterbug]

My RN build is almost done. I just got the steering plate and bars from X-Metal and I need the bearing kit to get it mounted on the SJ. Where would you suggest I get one? Or does anyone have one the want to sell? Thanks for your help...

Get the TBM unit or the UMI through Hot Products from John Zigler.

He doesn't sell them because they come with the umi kit.

I'm not sure if he still does this, but John at jetskisolutions.com sold me the UMI steering kit and swapped out the bearing for a Stainless Steel Bearing (the stock UMI bearing sucks) and threw in his Tuff Thrust Washer for the same price as the normal UMI system. That's an extra $40 in parts for free.

I got the umi kit when I ordered my xmetal bars from the guys at xmetal. THey said just to grease everything and it shouuld last a long time!
