Reply To: HT 27 Steering

I have a Mk 4a and it seems to have the same steering set up. If no one can supply the spec, I can sent you a photo of the business end if it helps. Let me have your mobile and I'll mms it if you like. Hydraulic sounds expensive to me, but if it gets rid of the knocking/play when at anchor or alongside, then I guess I could understand the rationale! Otherwise, keep it simple is what I say. Looks like the one u have failed because of a rusted fixing and not checking each season for loose bindings? On steering, I'd suggest you have double thickness stainless on the central strap on each rudder – the one tht takes the strain. Nick. Gee Bee
