Complete HyDrive Commander hydraulic steering kit for outboards up to 200HP, with a corrosion resistant 511BH bullhorn cylinder and Model 401 helm unit, available in Standard, Honda, and Mercury fitments.
If you're after smooth, responsive steering for your outboard without the hassle, the HyDrive Commander 511BH Bullhorn Kit has you covered. It's a complete hydraulic steering package with everything you need in the one box, ready to bolt on and go, suited to single outboards up to 200HP or dual counter-rotating outboards up to 400HP total.
The 511BH cylinder is made from aluminium with serious protection built in against corrosion and electrolysis, so it holds up well to salt water without the extra weight or cost of a bronze or stainless setup. It's a 154cc cylinder with a 203mm stroke. Pair that with the Model 401 helm unit, a 28cc/rev pump giving smooth, responsive steering at just 5.4 turns lock to lock, with a built-in lock valve for safety.
Everything you need comes in the box plus clear instructions, so you're not hunting around for extra parts, and theres no need for any specialty tools to get it installed.
This kit comes in three tiller arm fitments, Standard, Honda, and Mercury, each with the matching cylinder to clear the motor cowling on the relevant outboards, so make sure you grab the version that matches your engine before you order. It's proudly manufactured in Australia by HyDrive, and backed by a 2 year warranty for leisure use.
