    2.4 Product overview The Hydraulic Linear Drive is intended to operate a vessel’s steering mechanism as part of a Raymarine autopilot system. The Hydraulic Linear Drive is designed for vessels with existing mechanical steering systems, NOT hydraulic steering systems. It is mounted below decks and moves the rudder directly by pushing the tiller arm or rudder quadrant.
