Default Hydraulic steering for a 40ft cat?


"Michal" wrote in message
...

There are obviously two rudders. The boat will be used for blue water
cruising.



My suggestion is that the two rudders should be connected together via a
mechanical system and then use one hydraulic ram to operate both rudders,
rather than trying to use two hydraulic rams to operate each rudder. I have
used the two ram approach and have found that they are never in alignment.
It is easy to realign them, but I had to do it far more often than I liked.
