Pressurized Compact System
Hynautic continues to offer the only pressurized compact steer-
ing systems available. The Reservoir is remote and the whole
system is under a slight head pressure applied with a bicycle
pump at the Reservoir. This system is the most cost effective on
the market if you need to steer at more than one station.
The NEW 2-Line System
Hynautic's new 2-Line Steering System incorporates all basic
functions into just two components, the Helm and the Cylinder.
Fluid fill is at the Helm. Special design makes purging easy.
Outboard boats, I/O's and inboard boats to approximately 38
feet exert less force than larger yachts. Therefore, compact
components were developed which, when applied properly,
provide safe efficient steering at an economical price.
The Compact Steering System which incorporates these smaller
components offer a complete steering package. Specific com-
ponents have been assembled for ease of installation, minimum
steering effort, and fewest turns.
Compact steering systems may have one of two pressure set-
tings set at the factory. A low pressure system set at 500 psi is
used on small boats with special unplasticized, light duty nylon
tubing. For the high pressure systems the relief is set at 950 psi
and only copper tubing or approved high pressure hose is
recommended.
Standard Systems
Standard Manual Steering Systems are for commercial and
pleasure boats to 70 feet. The universal mount cylinders are
easy to install and allow for the greatest degree of misalignment.
The Relief Valve of all Standard Systems is set at 950 psi.
Therefore, only copper tubing or braided hydraulic hose ac-
ceptable. Other types of tubing may have the correct pressure
rating but might be too elastic, allowing easy energy loss and
sluggish response.
The component parts of Standard Systems are matched to allow
for the fewest number of turns and an acceptable steering effort.
The Standard System package is designed for a single steering
station. To add additional Helms to the basic System, include
another Helm Unit and the appropriate fitting package. (See the
Fitting Package Section.)
