A very popular cylinder type for outboards is the Hydrive tube-mount 210T (balanced) and 210TSE (unbalanced). It can handle the same horsepower as the powerful 210BH Bullhorn cylinder, but it is simpler and cheaper to install. The only restriction to fitting them is the side clearance requirements in the engine well.

Installation is very simple. The cylinder is designed to screw directly onto the outboard motor's tilt-tube or pivot-tube, in exactly the same way as a conventional cable-steering unit. simply unscrew the old cable from the motor, screw on the Hydrive cylinder onto the same thread, install the fittings and the hard work is virtually done! Made of chromed brass, bronze and stainless steel, there are two versions available, - the 210T which is a balanced cylinder, and the unbalanced 210TSE which has slightly higher turns one way than the other. It's advantage is that it requires less clearance for installation. They can also be fitted directly to splashwell brackets to replace any cable steering. It's really that simple!!

The Hydrive Tube-mount cylinders are also designed for use on any brand STERNDRIVE or inboard/outboard to replace the conventional push-pull cable steering system. the cylinder screws directly to the bracket or pivot tube provided for the cable steering unit.
