How does the steering work on an outboard motor? The steering wheel is connected to a hydraulic pump that draws fluid from a reservoir and sends it to a hydraulic cylinder or ram. The cylinder or ram is connected to the boat's rudder or outboard motor, allowing the hydraulic pressure to turn the steering mechanism What is outboard hydraulic steering? Hydraulic steering systems use a lightweight hydraulic hose to control the steering. This offers larger or high-powered vessels a smooth, lightweight feel when turning the steering wheel. With fewer metal parts than a mechanical system, hydraulic steering has the benefit of being more resistant to corrosion.
