hydraulic steering let loose on a triton

 

[raider]

WOW... there's some pretty important lessons and lots of what ifs in that video...

 

[Vollmer]

No katter what. Life jacket and kill cord. Always!

 

[shorthairsrus]

i better correct myself - supposedly the first six boats stopped before the rest blew by

I work on hydraulic systems a lot. I don't think I could get myself to put on one a boats steering. And now they are using wireless steering systems lol

 

[Fishmission]

Wireless throttles are the bomb. Killswitch and lifejackets save the day

I know they say it was a steering failure, and it could have been. But watching the video, it also looks like it might have been just bad driving at high speed. At least the rods held to the front deck.

Holy buckets man that could have been really bad if it didn't shut down.

Holy shit. Thats wild. My last boat had an issue with it's hydraulic steering system. I was up on Darling hauling ass and apparently there was air in the hydraulic steering. 15 mph wind + a boat hauling ass with jacked up steering = boat bouncing side to side with fat guy driving it looking like he's riding the back of a bull... scariest trip on a boat that I've ever had. Wish I woulda had a camera cuz I'm sure I looked funny as hell bouncing all over.

a buddy of mine had the same issue. from day one soon as he got up to about 40 mph trimmed up it would become unmanageable. major air in the system from the factory. took a lot of messing around to get it out. I just about had to make an adapter for my vacuum system to vac the air out.
