HyDrive 12VDC Electric Power Steering
Effortless Control. Instant Response. Universal Power.
Upgrade your marine steering to the ultimate in precision and comfort. The HyDrive 12VDC Electric Power Steering (EPS) System delivers true finger-tip control, allowing you to handle the most powerful outboard applications effortlessly and without delay.
Whether you are navigating tight spaces or cruising at high speeds, HyDrive gives you total confidence at the helm.
Why Choose HyDrive EPS?
- Zero-Lag Steering: Unlike other brands that only turn their pumps on after a load is detected—causing a frustrating 1-to-2-second delay—the HyDrive pump runs constantly. You get instant, smooth response the exact moment you turn the wheel.
- Universal Compatibility: Engineered to suit any outboard brand or horsepower rating on the market.
- Commercial-Grade Power: The microprocessor-controlled, load-sensing pump delivers pressures up to 1000psi to handle heavy-duty loads with absolute ease.
