Hydraulic steering systems for outboard boats have several advantages, including increased control, and reduced operator fatigue due to less torque steer, durability, and less force required to turn the wheel.
 
Our 350 HP Hydraulic Outboard Steering Helm is ready to mount. This is a component of our 350 HP and 700 HP Pro Steering Systems. It also replaces and interchanges with SeaStar and UFlex systems.
 
We offer four (4) helm ci per revolution options (1.6 is easier than Sea Star 1.7 while our 2.7 is quicker than SeaStar 2.4).
 
Selecting the right helm size for your boat's hydraulic steering system is crucial for optimal control and responsiveness. The helm's cubic inch (ci) per revolution rating determines the steering effort and speed:
 
1.6 ci/rev (25cc): Easiest steering effort; more turns lock-to-lock.
1.8 ci/rev (30cc): Easy steering effort; moderate turns lock-to-lock.
2.3 ci/rev (37cc): Faster steering response; fewer turns lock-to-lock.
2.7 ci/rev (44cc): Fastest steering response; least turns lock-to-lock.
 
Considerations for Choosing Helm Size:
 
Some operators favor minimal steering effort, while others prioritize rapid response.
 
Faster boats requiring precise maneuvering, course corrections, or driving it "on the pad" would benefit from a higher ci helm for quicker response.
 
Slower boats or leisurely cruising typically prefer a lower ci helm for easier steering. 
 
Compete 350HP and 700HP Hydraulic Steering kits are available including all hose lengths, bulk bulkhead fittings, hoses, twin, triple, and quad set-ups are also available. Helms and Cylinders are available standalone.
