Hydraulic steering...

[Aluminum Squirt]

This isn't hydraulic but it looks like a very sanitary way to set up the steering. I'm sure it functions well too as its on a sprint hull and all they do is turn lock to lock. I'm not good enough to even post my own pictures, much less somebody else's, so here's a link, scroll part way down and you'll see the pics. Maybe BF will be kind enough to come over and explain a little more and post some more detailed photos-Aluminum Squirt

If you would like to see any other pictures just let me know. The ratio is adjustable under the helm. Just simple levers. the ratio on mine is 1/4 turn lock to lock.

I'll bet that is nice to drive. I like quick steering.
thats what i like about it the most, it responds very quickly with little movement from side to side,
I have to say that I will build every boat i own with this type of steering, worth every penny

Before you call that "Calgo" steering you might want to take a closer look.
I believe this set up was created by Dave Batista, aka "SoCal Power".

I don`t recall stating that was Calgo I`ve had three boats with it so have a vague idea what it looks like.Thanks for the help anyway.

Wasn't sure if you were calling the setup pictured a Calgo,
but you did make the comment just after the pic of that
hydraulic setup was posted. Realized after the fact that
you were just stating you liked the Calgo system.
Didn't feel like bothering to change my post.
