STEERING
 STEERING 29STEERING
Volvo Penta offers reliable mechanical and hydraulic sys-
tems. Both systems have zero feed back function so the 
steering is not affected by forces such as waves etc. All 
Volvo Penta steering wheels are specially adapted to  
marine conditions, which means that they are anti-magnetic 
and made  of corrosion resistant materials. 
VOLVO PENTA STEERING SYSTEMS 
With the tilt mechanism the boat driver can choose the most comfort-
able steering wheel angle. Just one example of superb steering control 
from the wide range of electronic, hydraulic and mechanical steering 
systems offered by Volvo Penta. For more information, please contact 
your local Volvo Penta dealer or visit www.volvopenta.com

Hydraulic Steering 
The strength required to steer a boat equipped with a hydraulic steer-
ing system is inversely proportional to the number of turns of the wheel 
lock-to-lock. The wheel turns are determined by the ratio between the 
cylinder volume, the pump displacement and the free movement of the 
steering device, e.g. the rudder. A large cylinder volume and small pump 
displacement results in a greater number of wheel turns and a small 
cylinder volume and a large pump displacement results in less number 
of wheel turns.
Fewer wheel turns means quicker steering response but more effort 
needed and more wheel turns means slower steering response but 
less effort. The Hydraulic Steering Helm pumps are available in three 
different displacement sizes, i.e. 28 cc, 33 cc and 39 cc. Each of them 
are available for three different ways of mounting, i.e. front mount, rear 
mount and tilt mount. Three steering cylinders are available, all for rud-
der installations, and comprising volume 116 cc, 168 cc and 215 cc 
respectively.
Adjustable steering wheel
The tilt mechanism allows for five locking positions in the range of 48 
degrees (+/- 24 degrees) tilt angle of the Steering Wheel. With the 
tilt steering mechanism, the boat driver can choose the best personal 
steering wheel angle.
