In comparison to mechanical steering systems which use a cable, hydraulic boat engine steering systems require less care and are smoother. They are used on inboard pleasure boats, sterndrives, outboard powerboats, workboats and commercial fishing vessels. They are also necessary when incorporating certain types of autopilot systems. However, even with the best of care, the marine atmosphere can cause some parts to require replacement. Boat Accessories Australia offers a wide selection of spare parts from JPW Marine and Ultraflex including inboard cylinders, seal kits, end caps and other sundry fittings. You can order the most common hydraulic steering spare parts and accessories from our webshop. Not sure you have all the boat steering parts you need to install your new hydraulic steering system?

A reliable hydraulic system is usually the pride of a well-maintained boat, but salt and pressure eventually take their toll on small components. Instead of replacing a complete system, sourcing the right boat hydraulic steering parts can save you a fortune. Maintaining your setup with fresh seals, hoses, and fittings guarantees that your vessel remains responsive and safe for every trip offshore.
The secret to a long-lasting steering system lies in the small details. Most steering issues are caused by worn seals or minor leaks at the connections. We provide an extensive selection of boat hydraulic steering parts designed to address these common problems, allowing you to perform targeted repairs rather than a full overhaul.
Sourcing specific seal kits for your cylinders and helm pumps is a smart way to stop leaks before they lead to a total loss of steering. These kits often include rod seals and hardware for various cylinder models, as well as shaft seal kits for the helm pump itself. By replacing these rubber components every few years, you prevent salt and grit from entering the internal chambers, which protects the precision-machined surfaces from expensive damage.
Your hydraulic lines are the arteries of your steering system, and they must be able to withstand significant pressure without expanding or leaking. We stock high-quality marine hydraulic steering parts such as semi-rigid nylon hoses and flexible rubber lines available by the metre.
To keep your installation neat and professional, we also offer bulkhead hose kits. These allow your hoses to pass through the outboard well or transom via a secure, watertight fitting. This prevents the hoses from rubbing against raw fibreglass edges, which is a leading cause of premature hose failure.
Combined with high-quality brass fittings and nut and olive connectors, these components create a closed, airtight system that provides consistent performance in even the roughest Australian sea conditions.
For boaties looking to expand their capabilities, we provide specialised kits for installing a second steering station or an autopilot system. These marine hydraulic steering parts include bypass valves and additional fitting kits that allow two helms to operate on the same circuit.
The expansion kits are designed to integrate seamlessly with your existing pump and lines. They often include the necessary T-fittings and check valves to ensure that turning one wheel doesn't cause the other to spin. By using these dedicated kits, you avoid the risks associated with DIY plumbing and ensure that your steering remains safe and predictable across all stations.
The way your helm pump is mounted to the dashboard affects both the aesthetics of your cabin and the ergonomics of your steering. We stock a variety of mounting flanges, including round and square designs, that allow for intermediate pump positions.
This helps you achieve the perfect wheel angle for comfortable, long-distance driving. We also provide tilt-mount installation kits for those who prefer an adjustable wheel position. To make the maintenance process easier, we offer remote filler kits and non-vented filler plugs.
Maintaining a hydraulic system requires the right components and a proactive approach. Whether you are replacing a set of link arms or performing a full seal replacement on a cylinder, using high-quality hardware is what keeps you in control. We have the parts to help you perform professional-grade repairs that stand up to the salt.
