The world's most popular hydraulic boat steering helm (HH65424) offers smooth, efficient no feedback steering for inboard and outboard applications. Preloaded dual taper bearings ensure minimal excess free play. Shaft seals prevent water ingress. These helms are maintenance-free and fit most styled and formed dashes. Available for use with hydraulic systems only.

The latest series of helms has been redesigned to provide a better experience for the vessel operator:

• New valve technology ensures tighter, quieter, and more responsive steering, while minimizing the potential for chattering when dealing with overrunning steering loads.
• More durable check valves, making the entire steering system more resilient to the rigors of trailering.
