Built with a high-strength aluminum alloy casing, robust seals, and a built-in two-way lock, it resists corrosion and repeated compression while delivering up to 10.3 MPa (≈1500 PSI) working pressure. The unit ships as the cylinder only — helm pump and hoses are not included — making it ideal for retrofits, replacements, or custom hydraulic steering builds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this cylinder handle heavy-duty steering loads?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HC5358-3 \/ HC5345-3 is rated to a maximum working pressure of 10.3 MPa (about 1500 PSI), giving it the capacity to manage the torque and forces from outboard motors up to 300HP. Internally, the cylinder uses durable seals and a two-way locking valve to minimize rebound and maintain predictable steering feel under load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMax working pressure: 10.3 MPa \/ 1500 PSI\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in two-way lock to reduce rebound torque\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned for single or twin outboard setups up to 300HP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat features protect the cylinder from the marine environment?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCorrosion resistance and long-term seal performance are central to this design.
