    Is This the Right Kit for My Boat?

    Bull Horn type steering kits are by far the most popular steering systems for outboard motors as they are compact, robust, simple to install and require the minimum amount of clearance in an engine well.

    Measure the narrowest section of your engine well - the bull horn kits are all 540mm wide plus they need a little extra room for the engine to turn so ideally you'll need Clearance (C) approx 560-600mm , as the cylinder tilts down with the motor you need to ensure this has room in front of the motor both Clearance (A) & Clearance (B) approx 120 - 150mm . Measure carefully, particularly with tapered wells HyDrive Outboard Selection Chart 2018

    Other Kits Available:

    Commander Kits  - Utilise an aluminium cylinder design, with unique electrolytic insulation between metals for maximum corrosion resistance. Commander kits use the 501 Helm Pump Unit.
    Different Versions - Some Honda & Mercury Outboards -  may require a different version of this kit  to avoid interference with the motor cowl - these versions are also listed below.

    Admiral Kits - Admiral Kits suit single outboards to 300hp or twins to 600hp. Admiral Kits are for Commercial or Recreational Use.
    What sets the HyDrive Admiral Series cylinders apart from the competition is the materials used to build them.  While other brands use anodised or painted aluminum cylinders, the HyDrive Admiral Series Kits use Chromed Brass, Bronze and Stainless steel materials - built for the toughest marine environment. The Admiral Kits also use a better quality 401 Helm Pump Unit.

    This Catamaran Outboard Kit - (OBKIT1-DCFL8) - (Admiral Series) will suit most twin outboard motor installations - it has has two cylinders, quality 401helm pump, tubing, all fittings, tube  and a fluid link (only) between the outboards - this means you do not have to have a rigid tie bar between the two outboards (which is often difficult to fit). The FLUID-LINK ball valve (pictured below)  suits the 3/8" nylon tubing, it is required for connection, bleeding and synchronising of two independent hydraulic cylinders.
     

    Note: Re Kit Picture Below:
    The Catamaran Kit Includes: THREE x Litres of ULTRA Fluid, a Fluid Link Valve and TWO x  211BH Cylinders

    • Optional Helm Wedge - (WEDGE-401) - 20 Degree Wedge to Suit the 401 or 501 Helm Pumps - allows 0-20 degree adjustment to cater for an angled dash.

    Hydrive Helm Wedge

    • Optional Rear Mount (Helm) Kit - Adding his unit means the steering wheel/helm does not protrude into the helmsman's space so much as part of the helm mechanism can be recessed behind the dash. It  fits any model 401,402 and 501 helm unit - adjustable from low-profile to full protrusion for maximum flexibility in helm placement. Simply trim the spacers and studs to adjust the amount of penetration into the helm position. The front dash or console ring is fully O-ring sealed against pump body to prevent water ingress to the rear of the console. Easy to fit - easy to adjust - looks great. (REAR MOUNT KIT)
