HyDrive's home is Australia where recreational and commercial boats often operate days from onshore support. Systems and components are tough, reliable, made from quality materials and designed for easy on the water serviceability.
The OBKIT3 contains a 210TSE unbalanced side mount steering cylinder which is very popular cylinder with outboards and stern drives - especially where there is limited space available. Made from brass-bronze (not aluminium), it can handle up to 235hp single installation / 600hp twin installation, and is simpler and cheaper to install than a similar spec bullhorn. The cylinder is designed to screw directly onto the outboard motor’s tilt-tube or pivot-tube in exactly the same way as conventional cable steering. Simply unscrew the old cable from the motor, screw on the HyDrive cylinder onto the same thread, install the fittings. It can also be fitted directly to splash well brackets to replace any cable steering. At the other end it connects to the tiller arm of the outboard using the standard drag-link that already connects the cable. It also attaches to Stern Drives in the same manner, and can be used on Stern Drive Power steering cylinders making dual stations very simple. It’s really that simple.
Unbalanced cylinders don't have a piston rod protruding out of both ends of the cylinder, so are often fitted where space is limited such as outboard splash wells and sterndrive powered RIBs.

Mark & Paul, going above and beyond
★★★★★
"We need a prop in a big hurry and Mark and Paul pulled out all the stops to get it to us in record time. Every time I need something it's right first time and on time. It genuinely doesn't get better than specialist small craft"
- Graham -
Propeller replacement in an amazing turn round time.
★★★★★
"On a job in the wilds of Lincolnshire and the workmen on the pontoon hit the propeller on their self-propelled pontoon on rocks and other debris, it was chewed up to less than half the working diameter and one blade was broken in half. A phone call to Specialist Small Craft had a replacement propeller despatched almost immediately and it was with us the following morning. FANTASTIC SERVICE plus the knowledge and experience of the team at Specialist Small Craft is second to none. "
