Why hydraulic steering?
- Safer and more precise control of your vessel
- Autopilot is more efficient when the rudder, outboard engine, drive or pump-jet is controlled via hydraulics
- An integrated non-return valve helps the rudder maintain its position without holding the steering wheel
- Minor mechanical wear means minimal maintenance and extended product-life
- Best alternative if you want two or more steering positions
- Stable course with minimal use of force
