Ultraflex KIT OB-2S Second Steering Station Kit

Ultraflex KIT OB-2S (SKU 43183E) is a dedicated kit for building a second steering station in Ultraflex hydraulic yacht steering systems with the OB series rotary pumps, used in motorboats with outboard and inboard engines with steering gear. The kit allows upgrading an existing system (one station, e.g., cockpit) with an additional station (e.g., flybridge or aft position), ensuring parallel and safe operation of two steering pumps while maintaining proper hydraulic oil flow distribution. It includes complete fittings and connecting elements required to link the main OB pump with the second pump, including tees/adapters, hose fittings, check/separating valves, and venting components — configured to the Ultraflex installation standard. Installation involves inserting the distribution modules into the supply and return lines between the pumps and the actuator (UC series) while respecting flow directions, routing hydraulic hoses to the second station, then filling and venting the system according to the manufacturer's procedure using the appropriate oil (Ultraflex OIL HF). The kit is designed for systems with one or two rotary pumps (e.g., OB-1/OB-2) controlling a single actuator on the transom; it preserves full functionality of both stations and minimizes the risk of pump "pushing" between stations thanks to the check valves used. Typical applications include motorboats with flybridge, service boats, and RIBs requiring redundant steering.
