Thread: Hyd Stick steering or Electric/Hyd steering (outboard)

Have any of you guys put a home-made Hyd steering on an outboard?
Two "Push-pull" hyd Cylinders. One connected to the outboard, the other plunger being operated by a stick? Sounds simple, but has anybody heard of it anywhere?

How about the power trim stuff from a larger outboard? Connect the plunger to an Outboard motor, and put the electric switch somewhere up front for a remote steering out board.

Anybody?:D

Thud, it sounds like a good idea but I don't want to be up front while testing a prototype. Keep the kill switch close.

LOL, we wont go "Flip" fast!

The electric idea was for larger boats with a Kicker. He'd want to steer the kicker from a switch up front without having to wrestle with the helm and a link to the kicker from the outdrive.
