Vetus hydraulic steering cylinders are tried-and-tested and will last a generation!
The MTC72SL is a high quality brass bodied hydraulic cylinder for yachts, launches and other small work boats, for use with transom-hung rudders. Instead of a mounting base, it is mounted through the hull of the boat and includes the plate and fixings to do so.
It is supplied with zinc plated rod end (stainless steel upgrade available) and compression fittings for 8mm x 10mm hose, with bleed nipples.
