Hydraulic Boat Steering

HyDrive hydraulic steering is manufactured in South Australia and has won many awards since the company started in 1966. The range of hydraulic boat steering has increased dramatically over the past 20 years with considerable emphasis being placed on the growing need for more efficient and powerful steering equipment to handle larger vessels, and larger horsepower on smaller vessels. HyDrive has a product range which caters to all types of vessels from 5 metres to over 100 metres.

HyDrive is the largest manufacturer of hydraulic boat steering systems in the Southern Hemisphere and offers a product range of manual hydraulic steering kits, power steering systems, electronic steering systems, electro-hydraulic systems, fly-by-wire and custom built precision systems to suit vessels from 5m to 150metres.
