    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

    Feel free to give me a call

    Well lucky lady its a new Build and i worded it wrong it will be completley run off the pump its a hydraulic pump /cylinder and tank with a valve for the steering my question is the routing of the lines from the pumps thru the cooler to the tank to the cylinder , there is two pressurized lines going to one. 3when both engines are running hope this makes sense

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

    Outboard Inboard I/O?

    why are you wanting to go to power steering?

    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.
