The heart of the package is the 12VDC microprocessor-controlled pump unit which senses loads and delivers pressures up to 1000psi.
The HyDrive POWERKIT-M12 is designed to provide state-of-the-art Electro-hydraulic power steering to handle large horsepower or multiple outboard engines.
Tried and proven for over 10 years on extreme performance boats, there is now the latest generation of helm units with a smaller footprint which are lighter and give smoother control.
The system can be used to upgrade existing steering, or can be installed as a complete steering unit.
It is not a servo-system therefore any movement on the wheel is instant and without delay – an absolute-must on high speed and high performance vessels.
Other servo-type systems on the market provide much less direct control and are less reliable in the long run. They use a manual helm to activate a follow-up valve and pump.
As such there are more components and more lost motion. The heart of the package is the microprocessor-controlled pump unit which senses loads and delivers pressures up to 1000psi to handle the most powerful applications with finger-tip control on the wheel with in turn delivers INSTANT steering response and without any delay.
The pump unit comes as a package with a compact and powerful single station steering helm unit which delivers 50cc per rev giving very direct steering with a turns ratio on a 210BH-XT outboard steering cylinder of only 3 turns lock to lock.
