Tips and Installation Advice:

Hydrive Side or Tube-mount type cylinders are very popular because of the ease of fitting and the economical price.
It offers a very simple upgrade from cable steering to hydraulic steering for vastly improved results.
Selection of this type of steering is entirely dependent on the HP of the outboard - it will suit all outboards up to (and including) 90HP as the type of mount is universal to all brands and HP of motors that are fitted with tilt-tubes.
(The tilt tube is the tube at the front of the outboard where the existing steering cable screws into).
Some very small outboards do not have tilt-tubes and therefore must use the same pivoting bracket that is attached to the customer’s current cable.
Fitting is very simple as the hydraulic cylinder screws directly onto the threaded tilt-tube in the same location as the existing cable steering.
It connects to the tiller arm of the outboard using the standard drag-link already connecting the cable

For smaller outboards (up to 90HP) these side mount kits are economical and very simple to fit.

NOTE: Below is an example of how a Hydrive side mount cylinder attaches to most outboards - however it is not the exact cylinder that is supplied with this kit.
