I’ve installed both Ray electric ram and a hydraulic. The hydraulic is slightly more resistance as Gary describes, but the advantage of significant less amp draw far outweighs this.

I have since learned that it is possible, and not really that hard. I wish I had known it sooner, as I really liked the hydraulic unit my older boat had. I would contact Colin Mack at Mack Sails. He did someone’s boat and has a customized installation they can do for you or can sell you what you need for self-installation.
