ABSTRACT:
A steering system for directional control of an auxiliary engine using an existing helm steering system for the directional control of a primary engine. The steering system includes a master hydraulic cylinder having a rod connected to the primary engine, a slave hydraulic cylinder having a rod connected to the auxiliary engine, and hydraulic-fluid lines connecting the slave cylinder to the master cylinder to provide fluid flow communication therebetween. Movement of the master cylinder rod causes hydraulic fluid to flow from the master cylinder to the slave cylinder which moves the slave cylinder rod so that the auxiliary engine is controlled the same as the primary engine. The steering system can be used with inboard powered boats, inboard/outboard powered boats, outboard powered boats, and sailboats, each of which have an auxiliary engine.
