Hydraulic Steering System
We are constructing a 28 ft landing craft that will have twin 150s, I am looking for hydraulic steering systems. I know Uflex and teleflex, I like the uflex but I like to look at all my options available to me, this boat could end up in salt water.
thanks for anything you have to offer.

In North America Teleflex and Uflex are the big guys. Google the VETUS catalogue for another option. The Italians also market a rather nice setup... top class jumbo RIBS use the system, I cant remember the name. Do some Googling...marine ..hydraulic.. steering.

Teleflex/Morse and Uflex would be my choice. The quality is good, they have good technical service and the warranty service is mostly local.

For an Outboard powered boat in the US it's Teleflex first and Uflex second. I give the nod to Teleflex just because parts and service are more readily available and they have a wider selection of product.
