    Dual cylinder hydraulic vs single cylinder on a single engine application

    For the sake of argument, lets just assume that the single ram is double the displacement and force of the dual rams. Same helm, therefore, same turns lock to lock and same force at the ram itself.

    What are some benefits (or downfalls) to running something similar to the old Hynautic dual ram setup VS the marine machine/latham setup in this case?

    Seems like the dual Rams could be loaded against each other for zero play vs a very small amount of play in the single ram linkage.

    That's my thought too, along with a couple other positives. Just seeing what others think. Seems like Skater used a lot of the hynautic systems on their single engine boats so they can't be total junk...

    I don't think that the hynautic systems were junk, just more complicated and more parts then necessary compared to the modern stuff.
