What type of boat and engines?

What is the problem with it?

What cylinder is it? It will be stamped on the cylinder something like HC5358

What kind of boat and engines is it. System set ups are different on each boat style boat.

Outboard Inboard I/O?

the assist that you get even from a hynatic is still great power and even the hydralic should work at that size. going power assist like a hydralic clutch would suck if you had the engine go down that it is pulling from. plus it adds alot more of a complicated system to your rig.
