    The hydraulic steering is one of the most common breakdowns I experience on a commercial boat. I’ve had rams pull apart (make sure you have stops to prevent over travel) hose failure is the most common problem (have spare hoses and enough oil to replace the fluid (motor oil and diesel 50/50 will work as an emergency substitute) broken linkages are also a thing (again have spares). The plastic coupling between the motor and the pump, I’ve had one beak in 30 years. I know you made a complete secondary steering system but these are the things I’d have on hand

    Love The Parker Store. The hose will rot away long before those crimped fittings fail! After watching you drive to The Parker Store, I think your greatest challenge may be yet to come. How will you manager to build enough recline into your captains chair so that you can steer the boat from the same position that you drive your car???? Panel dim, light drive, Jesus on the dashboard. T-minus whenever it feels right......

    Teal, next time let Linh know to flip the oil container over where the neck is on top and it will pour easier with no runs down the neck. That's why all the oil companies started offsetting the neck to one side many years ago. Nice job on installing the wheel Linh and Emma, even though Teal left you totally in the dark!

    Onboard Lifestyle Hydraulic connections are normally metal to metal. Sometimes with an O-Ring or gasket. The PTFE tape is to lubricate the threads of pipes under low pressure. The chance of a small pice of tape getting into a hydraulic orifice or valve makes it a risk in high pressure systems. It will usually get forced out by the pressures.

    @@davidp8594 True but as long as Teal kept it off the sealing faces there will never be an issue and rudder vs water slipstream forces vs cylinder attachment point on the pivot arm and cylinder diameter dictate the max psi the system will ever see routinely. Only way to go higher in pressure is to keep cranking on the helm after max cylinder travel is reached and have a faulty bypass valve or no valve at all in the helm unit.

    I don't usually like to provide input since it seems like everyone on youtube is an expert, but at 15:34 the nut you're spinning is a compression fitting. They don't require any PTFE , the ferrules mating in the conical part of the fitting create the seal. For the thread in the block that looks like NPT so it's good. I use a lot of swagelok and they're great compression fittings, Parker is prob just as good.

    Hello Captain - Just curious if you purchased two lines for every hydraulic connection? When it comes to hydraulics I have learned to live by the "two is one - one is none" rule. Also regarding comments about Teflon tape - it is perfectly okay and acceptable in marine hydraulic applications as long as you start it a thread or two back from the end of the fitting. I have used Teflon tape on hydraulics on commercial vessels I have captained for more than 3 decades now.

    Congratulations! You are a working boat again. :) One thing I noticed at 7:42 you have a shot of the lines running into a conduit. The bend there looks pretty tight, at least from that angle. The conduit edge also looks a bit sharp. You might want to consider a wrap on lines with something to prevent wear damage at that edge or at least keep a close eye on it for a while to look for rubbing once you are underway. It would not be cool to pop a line offshore someday.

    I was waiting for this comment because when I was editing this video I could see how it was a bit misleading. I have two conduits running through that bulkhead. On the left is the engine control cables and the Yanmar wire harnesses for the control panels (they look very similar to the hydraulic hoses). On the right is insulated water leads for the galley and behind them are the hydraulic lines that have a straight shot through the conduit. On that note, I do have a few areas where I will put chaff gear on to protect the hoses from any wear.

Also - 1) quick shot of clear coat on polished brass/ bronze - lasts........ 2) make a center cap for your helm (steering wheel) from starboard - hint - proper thickness the material - use hole saws - then round edges - snap it in - lock it with a small set screw.......
