Why is hydraulic steering maintenance important?

A well-maintained hydraulic steering system ensures precise and responsive handling, improving safety and comfort while navigating. Regular maintenance prevents sudden failures and costly repairs. Periodically check the oil level, the condition of the hoses and fittings, and replace worn components.

How to choose the right fittings for your steering system

Fittings are crucial elements of the hydraulic system. Be sure to choose fittings that are compatible with the type of hose and the model of your steering system. Verify the diameter, thread type (NPT, BSP), and material (brass, stainless steel). Always use high-quality fittings to prevent leaks and ensure a perfect seal.

The importance of specific hydraulic oil

Hydraulic oil for marine steering systems is formulated to withstand high pressures, extreme temperatures, and marine corrosion. Using a non-specific oil can compromise the operation of the steering system, cause irreparable damage, and reduce its lifespan. Osculati and Ultraflex oils guarantee maximum protection and performance.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

What type of oil should I use for my hydraulic steering system?

Use only hydraulic oil specifically designed for marine steering systems. Ultraflex and Osculati oils are formulated to withstand high pressures and temperatures, ensuring maximum protection and longevity for your steering system. Avoid generic oils or those not suitable for the marine environment.

How can I tell if a fitting is compatible with my steering system?

Always check the model and technical specifications of the fitting. Carefully check the diameter, thread type (NPT or BSP), and material. If in doubt, consult your steering system manual or contact our customer service for personalized advice.

How often should I replace the hoses on my hydraulic steering system?

The hoses of the hydraulic steering system should be checked periodically for any signs of wear, cracks, or leaks. It is recommended to replace them every 5-7 years, or sooner if necessary. Use only hoses specifically designed for hydraulic steering systems, such as nylon R7 hoses, which are resistant to pressure and corrosion.

Can I use a fuel hose for the steering system?

Absolutely NOT! Fuel hoses are designed to withstand hydrocarbons, not hydraulic pressures. Using an inappropriate hose can cause leaks, malfunctions, and compromise the safety of your boat. Use only hoses specifically designed for hydraulic steering systems.

What should I do if my steering system is leaking oil?

Locate the source of the leak. It could be a loose fitting, a damaged hose, or a worn seal. Replace the defective component with a high-quality original or compatible spare part. If the leak persists, consult a qualified technician.

How can I prevent corrosion of the steering system components?

Corrosion is a common problem in the marine environment. To prevent corrosion of the steering system components, use specific products for metal protection, such as anti-corrosion sprays and water-resistant greases. Regularly clean the components with fresh water and dry them thoroughly.
