Components of a Hydraulic Steering System
- Steering Wheel :
The particular steering wheel used for this project was chosen for the color (yellow) of the grip, which matches the color of the non-skid on the boat.
- Hydraulic Helm :
The steering wheel is attached to the hydraulic helm, which is the pump and hydraulic reservoir together. Note that you have to back out the thumbscrew in order to add the hydraulic fluid.
- Hydraulic Lines or Cables :
The cables are attached to the backside of the hydraulic helm on the fittings. The lines/cables will run down beneath the deck back to the engine, where the steering ram assembly will be attached.
- Steering Ram Assembly :
The steering ram assembly is attached to the frontside of the tilt tube, and it's bolted to the tiller arm. This is how you get to steer the boat back and forth.
