EZ-Steer® Hydraulic Steering Assist Kit

EZ-Steer® Hydraulic Steering Assist Kits: Precision Control for Your Auxiliary Engine

For boaters who run a kicker or auxiliary outboard, maintaining safe and comfortable control from the main helm is a genuine challenge — especially in rough weather or when the fishing action demands your full attention. That's exactly the problem EZ-Steer® was built to solve. Founded in 1978, EZ-Steer is a marine steering systems company that specializes in auxiliary outboard steering systems designed to connect a boat's main engine to an auxiliary engine, enabling synchronized steering control.

What Sets EZ-Steer® Apart in Hydraulic Steering Assist

With the EZ-Steer system, you can safely and easily steer your auxiliary outboard engine from your boat's main wheel — even if one is raised or tilted — giving you an unrestricted view of what's ahead and keeping you out of the way of the fishing action.

The key to EZ-Steer's reputation lies in its patented engineering. At the core of the system is a self-adjusting connecting rod that adapts seamlessly to changes in engine tilt and steering dynamics, ensuring smooth, precise steering regardless of engine position or water conditions. This self-compensating design eliminates the binding and slack that can plague rigid tie-rod setups — a critical advantage when navigating dynamic open-water conditions.

Crafted from powder-coated stainless steel, EZ-Steer's hardware is built to endure the toughest marine conditions — from saltwater exposure to harsh sun — performing reliably over time and giving boaters peace of mind. Every EZ-Steer kit includes powder-coated stainless steel brackets, brass connectors, and a stainless steel tie-rod for corrosion resistance and longevity.

Broad Compatibility — One Kit, Many Applications

Designed for auxiliary engines up to 25 horsepower, EZ-Steer offers kits to fit every outboard and outdrive engine — even boats with swim platforms — and most sailboats as well. Whether you're a weekend angler, a serious tournament fisherman, or a bluewater sailor relying on a backup engine, the Hydraulic Steering Assist Kit lineup is engineered to deliver a solution that fits your specific setup.

The EZ-Steer Universal system is designed as a complete solution for all types of boaters, combining decades of marine experience with forward-thinking design to create an adaptable, user-friendly option for auxiliary outboard steering. The EZ-Steer Universal System builds on the self-adjusting connecting rod concept by simplifying the options available that fit most boat and engine types, and is still designed for easy installation.
