Hydraulic Helm Test
 

Is there a way to test the helm without having the cylinder? Noticed that my boat came with hydraulic helm, but I don't have the cylinder.

Trying to figure out if I need a full setup or just the rear cylinder and new lines?

Hopefully the helm is good to avoid more $$ spending.

What kind of helm is it? To really test it you need a ram or to make some sort of manifold to check the pressure that each side can make. If it is the old HYNAUTIC system I would reccomend ditching it as parts are not really available for them anymore and are getting pretty worn out as they haven't been produced for some time.

Not sure brand. Will check tonight.
