I found this .PDF brochure for the new Xtreme steering:

This is VERY interesting. It is not only a new steering cable but a new helm design as well with an improved clutch with less back-lash. If the steering cable offers as much improvement over the standard mechanical cable as the Xtreme control cables did, it will be profoundly smoother.

It appears to be fully backward compatible with the older Teleflex Sate-T-II and 4.2 NFB systems so it would be a direct and simple swap out for any old Whaler, is that correct?

May we assume this is a 4.2 turns lock-to-lock system as well? What is the maximum HP this system is rated to handle?

Some quick online shopping seems to suggest that the whole kit, which lists for about $500 could be had for $350 or less.

Yeah, for a little 15' GLS, this is going to be the way to go.
