I have a 1976 21' Hawaiian mini daycruiser with a berkeley jet and it has a manual diverter. My question is....if I switched to a hydraulic system would I gain more up and down adjustment? Right now with the manual I don't seem to get the maximum adjustments up and down. It only travels about half of what it could.
Thanks,

Stick with manual. The only downside is the bulk of the control. The travel is the same when adjusted properly, manual moves up and down quicker, you have positive stops at different angles, and simple=reliable. If you search on this topic you will find that a lot of guys have "upgraded" to hydraulic, then switched back to manual.
