Hydraulic steering: The tilt helm is a very nice feature

1–2. The tilt helm is a very nice feature.

6. We quickened the steering action to 3 turns lock-to-lock by using a SeaStar 2.0 Sport Tilt Pro Helm displacing 2 cu.in./rev. and a SeaStar BA125-7ATM cylinder. The tilt option was well worth the added expense !

7. An aluminum backup plate was fabricated to mount the hydraulic helm to the dash.
