The heart of the new Admiral Series is the HyDrive Model 101( 28cc/rev) and 102 (35cc/rev) helm unit. These 7-piston pumps are precision manufactured to standards and tolerances that are second to none. In-built lock valves, which eliminate torque feedback are standard. The light, smooth steering must be experienced to be appreciated.

But why HyDrive?

While it’s true that there are other hydraulic steering systems on the market, none of them have been built using the same salt-water resistant design criteria or give you the same value as HyDrive.

Designed as a complete Do It Yourself installation, everything you need is supplied including detailed instructions. You don’t even have to know anything about hydraulics!

Just compare the list of features and then consider carefully which system you really want to fit on your boat.
