What We Stock
At Boat Hut, we stock everything you need to upgrade your boat’s steering system. Our range includes hydraulic steering kits, helms, cylinders, hoses, and hydraulic fluid. We carry trusted marine brands including Dometic (SeaStar and BayStar systems) and Hydrive covering everything from entry-level setups to heavy-duty steering systems.
Helm Pumps
The helm pump is mounted behind the steering wheel at the dashboard and is the main control unit of the hydraulic steering system, moving fluid through the lines to turn the engine. We stock front and rear-mount helm pumps in a range of displacements to suit different boat sizes and steering preferences.Â
Hydraulic Cylinders
Mounted at the front of the outboard and supported by the tilt tube, the steering cylinder is part of a hydraulic steering system that uses fluid pressure from the helm to control the engine’s movement. We supply front-mount hydraulic cylinders designed for a wide range of outboard applications, built with heavy-duty stainless steel for durability and long-term marine use.
Complete Steering Kits
If you are replacing an old mechanical system, our complete hydraulic boat steering kits contain everything you need. Many of the kits we stock include the key components needed for installation, such as a front-mount cylinder, hydraulic oil, helm pump, hose, and hose fittings, helping save time when fitting a new system.
Specialty, Tournament, and Bulkhead Kits
For higher-performance setups, including larger outboards, dual-engine configurations, or boats requiring more responsive steering, we offer heavy-duty Tournament and Bulkhead kits designed for increased load capacity and demanding use.
How To Choose the Right Kit
Selecting the right hydraulic steering kit is important for maximising performance and responsive handling. The right kit for your boat depends on its engine type and horsepower. Matching the system to these specifications will ensure smooth and reliable steering.
