• Model 511BH bullhorn cylinder
• 2 litres of ULTRA-15 hydraulic fluid
• 15Mtrs of 3/8” OD Nylon hi-pressure hydraulic tubing
• Bleeding Kit
• All fittings to suit
• Installation Manual

Explaining Which Kit To Use - see the Advice and Tips Tab

Before you change the steering system in your boat, check that there is enough room for the cylinder to fit by the boat's transom, and that it is able to tilt without hitting the boat's motorwell - see the dimensional diagram and example "How to Measure" picture attached.

The main differences between differently priced hydraulic steering kits are the quality of the materials used in the cylinder and helm pump. 
Hydrive is a very reputable, long established genuine Australian brand that is exported world wide. 

Hydrive's two main types of trailerboat bullhorn kits are:

• This  cheaper Hydrive Commander range (the COMKIT range of models) which utilise a state-of-the-art aluminium cylinder design, with unique electrolytic insulation between metals for maximum corrosion resistance. 
• The superior Hydrive Admiral Series OBKIT models which offer the strongest and most corrosion resistant steering cylinders on the market. There is no equivalent of these cylinders available from any other manufacturer. Instead of the traditional anodised or coated aluminium cylinder barrels and tiller connections, the Admiral Series cylinders use high quality marine grade brass tubing for the barrels, solid brass end-caps and stainless steel tiller arms and connections. All brass components are further protected by Chrome plating for a high class finish that keeps the steering cylinder free from corrosion and pitting.

Which Model Variation? ("Std" "M"  or "H")

Both the COMKIT bullhorn styles, and the the OBKIT1 bullhorn kits - are available in three variations.
The three link versions are called Std (Standard), M (which was Mercury) and H (which was Honda).
They are just different height tiller arm link brackets, which attach the steering cylinder to the the outboard's drag link.
Some brands charge extra for these brackets however they are included in all the Hydrive kits.
NOTE: If your motor is Mercury it may not take the "M" version - check the compatablilty chart below for all brands.

Don't worry if you are not sure exactly which steering kit to use Boat Gear Australia can identify the correct one for you - just call or email us. You will need to know your outboard's brand, horsepower, year and whether it is a 2 stroke or a 4 stroke, and ideally the band and model of your boat.
