External Hydraulic steering systems are a safety must for all high performance boats. The external ram lessens the load on the sterndrive gimbal housing by evenly distributing engine torque through the ram which is attached to the transom. Typically boats without an external hydraulic ram type steering system are depending on a small tiller arm that runs through the gimbal and is attached to the drive. It is hard to believe but the entire steering force depends on one 3/8” bolt to steer your boat, if that bolt fails, your boat will typically hook to the left or the right possibly ejecting the occupants overboard.
Zeiger has been manufacturing steering systems "behind the scenes" for many years and is now in the forefront as one of the most prominent steering manufacturers in the industry. Today their steering systems and accessories are found on many of todays high performance offshore boats as original equipment.
Zeiger is probably the best steering system value on the market. Their rams have the thickest cylinder walls with a special scraper on the rams that keeps them clear of debris (no one else has this). Quality and value explains why Zeiger is factory equipment on Cigarette, Pantera, MTI, Fountain, Baja, Hustler and Nortech just to mention a few...

Don't be fooled by our competitor's low prices on Zeiger Hydraulic Steering Kits.
Low prices may tempt you to buy, but keep in mind that WestCoastOffshore's pricing for Zeiger Hydraulic Steering Kits include high quality Aeroquip lines and fittings in their dash and hose kits while other stores may be using lower quality Non-Zeiger offshore parts to complete their kits.
