How to Select Hydraulic Steering System
We are giving, here below, the information that you have to take into account in selecting the Hydraulic Steering System for your boat. A detailed description of the formulae that you need to use to come out with the right hydraulic steering system selection.
WHAT IS NOT IMPORTANT FOR THE SELECTION
-
The engine power
-
The length of the boat
WHAT IS IMPORTANT FOR THE SELECTION
- The maximum speed of the boat
- The surface area of the rudder
- The maximum rudder angle(in degrees)
F= 23.3 x a x v2 in Newton (N)
Or F=2.33 x A x v2 in kgf.
A= total surface area of rudder blade in m2 [i.e XY x C in m2]
V = speed in km/hour
Rudder without balance section: b=0.37 x c(in meters)
Rudder with balance section: b=(0.37 x c) - e (in meters)
1KNOT = 1.852KM
