Uflex SilverSteer 1.0 Hydraulic Steering System Kit, 1500 PSI High Performance Helm and Cylinder
The Uflex SilverSteer 1.0 is a hydraulic steering system built for high performance applications that put extreme rudder torque loads on a boat's steering, such as bass boats, flats boats, and tournament style offshore fishing boats. The kit is engineered around a 1500 psi helm paired with a cylinder that uses a keyed bullhorn design for maximum durability and minimal lost motion, so the steering stays smooth, responsive, and precise even under hard-charging conditions where lesser systems develop play or lag.
The cylinder and helm use adjustable boss style fittings, which allow the hose routing to be positioned precisely without the risk of breaking fittings from overtightening, or leaking fittings caused by loosening during installation, a common failure point on competing hydraulic steering cylinders. The kit ships complete with the helm, the cylinder, and oil, and is designed to deliver a premium steering response for boaters who demand accuracy at speed. A separate hose kit is required to complete installation and is not included, and the steering wheel itself is also sold separately.
