QL Hydraulic Steering

Mon-Fri 9am-8pm EST

1-800-916-1123

The strength required to steer a boat equipped with a hydraulic steering system is inversely proportional to the number of turns of the wheel lock-to-lock. The wheel turns are determined by the ratio between the cylinder volume, the pump displacement and the free movement of the steering device, e.g. the rudder. A large cylinder volume and small pump displacement results in a greater number of wheel turns and a small cylinder volume and a large pump displacement results in less number of wheel turns. Fewer wheel turns means quicker steering response but more effort needed and more wheel turns means slower steering response but less effort. The QL Hydraulic Steering Helm pumps are available in three different displacement sizes, i.e. 28 cc, 33 cc and 39 cc. Each of them are available for three different ways of mounting, i.e. front mount, rear mount and tilt mount. Three steering cylinders are available, all for rudder installations, and comprising volumes 116 cc, 168 cc and 215 cc respectively.

We work hard to provide you with the best value in product prices and shipping charges, and to get your order to you in a timely, safe, and convenient manner. Internet sales involve the cost of getting the product to you, and shipping carriers base that cost on the size and weight of the package, plus the distance the package travels from our warehouse to your door. We keep our product prices low, negotiate low shipping charges from our carriers and pass those savings on to you, and we don't charge sales tax (except for residents of Utah), so your order from iboats.com is the best value for all your boating needs.
