Selection of the appropriate mechanical steering system is an important factor for the safety and functionality of your boat. The combination of engine power, hull type and boat speed influence the correct selection of the steering system. The load on the steering system increases with the boat speed and engine power; the torque generated by the propeller rotation in high power outboard applications can make it hard to steer. Big boats with displacement hulls and inboard or non power assisted stern drive engines, can generate high rudder loads: in these cases a mechanical steering system...

The steering system of a boat is the mechanism that determines the boat direction when the steering wheel is turned. If, for any circumstance, the driver does not hold the steering wheel, a dangerous situation may occur caused by a sudden change of direction of the boat due to external forces (waves, currents, etc.) or internal forces such as rudder torque originated by the way of rotation of the propeller. Engine torque usually generates a load on the steering system that must be continually compensated for by the driver even when the boat is going straight. The additional effort by the...

POWER ASSISTED ENGINE POWER BOAT LENGTH STEERING SYSTEM Twin cable rotary steering systems Twin cable rotary steering systems Twin cable systems Always follow Twin cable rotary steering systems NOTE: sterndrive engines not equipped with power steering can create very high steering loads. Our hydraulic steering systems are recommended for these type of boats. For any further information please contact our Technical Service Department. Speed, hull, horsepower, engine type, displacement and size are major factors in boat performance and handling cha- racteristics. The above selection guide...
