Finding the right cylinder
Sleipner's hydraulic cylinders fit a wide range of installations. They are adaptable to most rudders and water jets as long as the rudder torque does not exceed what the cylinder is intended for.
Rudders
To find the proper steering for boats with rudders, you must calculate the rudder torque. The calculation formula can be found under technical details in the cylinder's product information.
Pump jets
For water jets and other types of installations, please contact a Sleipner dealer that can assist you.

Our heavy-duty cylinders are designed to deliver maximum performance and reliability for our power steering systems.
