Question on Home-made Hyd Steering, or even shift and throttle control.

This is for small boats. But the theory might work on anything.

I read some posts on Stick Steering and coming up with the right cables.

I thought this might work. Do you guys see anything wrong with my idea? Tell me, and I'll fix it if I'm able.:eek:manual Hyd Cylinders..jpg
 
Good to hear from you again Bondo.
Yup, Kinda Crude. That's what I'm worried about. Obviously someone else has tried this and improved on the idea.
This can be made out of Metal pipe or even some of the PVC or HDPE piping for small loads.

Ayuh,... I think That would be Too crude... Think Surplus,...

In theory, it'll work,... equal motion for equal motion...
I'd over size the helm to cover line losses...

The air cylinders at the Surplus place is probably the pieces I might go with...

Donno how yer gonna pull off the airtrap/ oil reservoir,... Gotta have it though...
