excellent video! Best one ive seen yet.

[@ohUredneck]

I've watched at least 40 vids on hyd. steering. Finally found the info I need (mounting cyl.). Great vid!

[@Crimetvuk]

I’ve learnt a lot on his videos as we’ll like, this guy should have a TV show 🤙🤙

[@AngryMackAdventures]

Glad it helped! thanks for the positive feedback :)

[@lukeclarke1068]

Thank you.

[@greatwhitesfishingadventur2273]

You did a very good job with that fitting up. I have the same Hydrive System on my boat, I stretched the tubing out in the sun for a day, before routing and fitting, was a lot easier ... but you got it done nicely !!!

[@AngryMackAdventures]

Thanks for the tip Michael that would of worked well! thanks for watching!

[@Internutt2023]

Nice presentation of the install. Not that you did anything wrong, but, I am kinda shy about using that plastic flex hose for compression connections without having some kind of metal sleeve slipped into the hose ends to keep the hose from crushing and leaking or coming out as well. I hope the setup works well for you and does not have any failures.

[@aidanrolls8201]

starting to look complete

[@AngryMackAdventures]

Aidan's POV getting there my friend!

[@Oxinder]

I’m pretty sure you just installed the 90hp max kit on your 115. The kit for up to 150 and 300 don’t use swing arm and the connecting rods are different.

[@archiehendricks6093]

Compression ring answered my question about cable length.

[@barrysmith1780]

Hi, only just found your channel and watched every episode of the boat build,enjoyed every minute, If I could make just one comment,, as an auto electrician I feel that you should have installed a fuse block behind the dash for the various circuits,, i.e. a fault on the vhf or nav lights etc is not going to trip a 70amp breaker before causing some damage,,,,not knocking you,,just an observation

[@AngryMackAdventures]

Barry Smith hey Barry Thankyou for watching! Thankyou for your feedback, all accessories run through the switch panel which have 15 - 30 amp fuses, the 70amp circuit breaker is there just for piece of mind and so main cable doesn’t short :)

[@barrysmith9020]

@@AngryMackAdventures Good man👍

[@ct1762]

awesome. Just a safety tip: i like to make sure the 9/16'' nut on the steering arm really gets a FULL 30ft/lbs of torque with a torque wrench. if that thing comes loose, goodbye ribs at 40 mph... or worse!

[@josztroutfishingdiary7350]

You make it look easy, Mack! Thanks!

[@SoCalSeaChaser]

Great video again and sick old school Santa Cruz shirt 🤙🏼 🛹

[@AngryMackAdventures]

haha thanks mate, and thanks for watching:)

[@jacky8528]

Great vid man and thanks again for some wholesome content you definitely deserve more subs man

[@AngryMackAdventures]

Glad you enjoyed! thanks alot jacky! Hoping to grow more and more!

[@Crimetvuk]

This guy deserves to make a Netflix series

[@larrybenson1041]

Hey Nick how about a dual engine steering install.

[@granddad3681]

Thanks for the tutorial mate. I’m about to fit the same unit to my 75 Etec. Can you reply and let me know if everything worked out well, or is there something to tweak? Cheers

[@gilbertrodriguez3317]

Thanks thanks thanks 🙏

[@joepsaila2837]

Great work Nick I installed the same hydraulic steering to my boat but the only thing was with mine the tubing that came the unit wasn’t flexible to fit in my motor well so I had to buy flexible hoses other than that all good cheers 🎣🎣🎣

[@maxsr3236]

Coming along nicely 🛥️

[@AngryMackAdventures]

thankyou max!!

[@youngfisho]

About to do the same. Replacing a seastar unit.

[@thepottiesadventures5763]

Hey mate I’m doing a voyager right now too, I’ve been watching your videos since you started. I’m in Perth too and would like to share my project with you too.

[@AngryMackAdventures]

Mikey Potgieter awesome stuff send me through some photos on my Instagram at Angry Mack adventures 😊

[@thepottiesadventures5763]

Angry Mack Adventures sure will mate!

[@jamieh9733]

Thanks for the video any idea why when fitting power steering it only drinking turning to starboard but when trying fill port up wheel is clicking and pushing out air

[@behrangnorouzilarki_ben5164]

Thanks for explaining 😊🙏

[@AngryMackAdventures]

Most welcome 😊 thanks for watching :)

[@raymondherringbotn172]

Great video. 👍🏻👍🏻😃

[@AngryMackAdventures]

Thanks 👍

[@Cparker8]

Nice work, gee I think I need this.. my steering is quite hard to steer on idle or when motor is off. Would this fix the issue?

[@M.alhaiky9]

HI you did great job and I understand from your explanationand and in the end of video can you tell me why you turn the helm by force I think I have like that..

[@M.alhaiky9]

its that crack for what?

[@jamesdogg1744]

Are you doing rails around the front of the boat?

[@AngryMackAdventures]

hi James, Thanks for watching i sure am!!

[@westie4ageturbo.749]

Im inBrisbane and you buggers in Perth seem to get a shit load more rain that us! ( i know this was two months ago) but all i hear is rain! Lucky buggers!

[@AngryMackAdventures]

hahaha doing a boat in the winter is not fun 😂 we did get a fair bit this year! That’s for watching the series so far mate I hope your enjoying it 👌🏽😊

[@V8LC100]

Great vid and install thx mate. I have the same motor. Assume you haven’t water tested it but curious as to if you feel it was worth the dollars. We have a Webster Twinfisher and low speed turning when retrieving onto trailer is hard work!

[@thecentralscrutinizerr]

Dometic now makes an electric steering system that hooks up the batteries. No hoses, no hydraulic fluid. Not sure of the price, but probably around a million dollars since its a boat.

[@jacobjohnson7765]

I have same motor wanted to install low water pickup

[@Geoffscubafish]

Hey Mate ,just found your tube site out of curiosity why did you not go with the front mount for the hydrive ( 516FM Front-Mount Cylinder )?

[@AngryMackAdventures]

Hey mate this was the kit that my boat shop recommended :)

[@Geoffscubafish]

@@AngryMackAdventures All good if your happy with ,i went with the bolt on with the 4 bolts Penguin Phantom 70 johno,love the dif in how easy it is.

[@alllstarbass]

a hidraulic steering system is lighter than a cable system?

[@stevemason5348]

Great video, very well explained. I am about to start building a pod to take 2 outboards on my SeaRay, it did have twin V6 petrol inboards on outdrives originally, I do not want a link bar connecting the steering from one to the other, I prefer have 2 rams, any idea how to run the hoses so I can steer both rams off one helm? Cheers Mack, Steve, south coast U.K.

[@AngryMackAdventures]

Hey Steve I’m actually don’t the same on my new build, twin steering rams. I’ll have a video on that in the future

[@stevemason5348]

@@AngryMackAdventures Thanks for getting back to me, I will look forward seeing the twin rams video, good luck with it, Cheers Mack

[@nigelhouareau5591]

How long is the rod that goes in the tilt tube?

[@jamesdogg1744]

First 💯

[@AngryMackAdventures]

YEWW!!

[@archiehendricks6093]

👍

[@djmikesea]

Dont for get to grease the first rod before inserting thru motor

[@Internutt2023]

I was thinking the same thing. A good coating of some marine trailer bearing grease would do nicely, and also for the collets to use to take the rest of the shimming play out of them, then, some loctite on the "grub screws" or "set screws" to keep those in place as well.

[@darrylstem6426]

dude wrong wrong wrong, the the linkage to the steering arm on the motor goes to the very back hole,youul get more lock to lock,

[@AngryMackAdventures]

Hi Darryl, not wrong at all fitting up the cylinder, the outboard sat straight with second hole, it was preferable to use furtherest hole but as the instructions said can use other if need be which worked better in my situation and once bleed, there is a diagram that shows an angle graph and on full lock showed a pass.

[@darrylstem6426]

@@AngryMackAdventures fitted a lot of those systems and always used the rear hole

[@AngryMackAdventures]

darryl stem thanks Darryl for input, when outboard goes in for full service I’ll ask them to check over and make sure there happy with how it’s been installed
