Installing a steering system is not too complicated. If you are going to install on outboards it is comparatively easier than installing onto inboards. Before installing a steering system you must be aware of the engine capacity, and rotational directions in case more than one engine is installed.
Yes, the rotational direction of the engines also impacts the decision to buy the correct boat steering system kits. Here are the different types of steering kits that Multisteer manufactures and supplies. A steering system kit includes all the necessary components required to successfully install a steering system on boats. Steering system kits by Multisteer include all the parts it like the Helm, Cylinder, Hydraulic Hoses, Hydraulic Oil, Purging bottles, and even the nuts, washers, and bolts required to fit a steering system. A schematic drawing below will help understand the different parts of a boat and the SteerlytePlus Power-Assisted Steering System when installed on the boats.
Boat Power-Assisted steering systems involve hydraulic or electrical components that require precise installation, calibration, and integration with the boat’s existing engine system. Incorrect installation can result in poor performance, safety risks, and potential damage to the boat and its components.
While installing a steering system, the hose connections to the cylinders play an important role and vary for different outboards. Hydraulic Hoses are connected either way, considering the type of engine and boat. It can be portside to portside and starboard to starboard in case of side mount, whereas portside to starboard and starboard to portside is considered while installing with single, twin, triple, or quad engines (It is must check the installation manual and follow the described process).
Checking all the characteristics of the boat, including the rotation of the propeller of all the engines and their comparison against clockwise and anti-clockwise will help you and the distributor of Multisteer steering systems to suggest the best suitable kit for your boat.

While experienced individuals with knowledge of marine mechanics and electrical systems can install a boat power steering system themselves, it’s important to carefully follow Multisteer’s instructions, guidelines, and safety recommendations. It’s also crucial to comply with local marine regulations and laws related to boat modifications.
If you are unsure or lack the necessary expertise, it’s best to seek the assistance of a qualified marine professional or boat dealer to ensure a proper and safe installation of the boat power steering system. Professional installation can help ensure optimal performance, reliability, and safety of the steering system for your boat.
We emphasize that the installation of a boat power steering system can be complex and requires technical expertise. We recommended having the installation performed by a qualified marine professional or boat dealer with experience in installing marine steering systems.
