Panther Drive Belts 107200 XPS Power Steering Kit for Outboard Boats

The Panther Drive Belts XPS (Extreme Power Steering) system delivers the perfect balance of hydraulic power steering convenience and cable steering reliability for recreational boaters. This innovative hybrid system uses traditional cable steering as a built-in safety backup, ensuring you maintain control even if the hydraulic or electrical system fails.

Key Features:

• Hybrid design combines cable steering backup with hydraulic power assist
• Dramatically reduces steering effort on outboard-powered boats
• Eliminates propeller torque feedback for smoother handling
• Unique "Stored Power" accumulator system maintains high-pressure hydraulic fluid
• Pump operates less than 10% of engine run time, conserving battery power
• Patented cylinder design for reliable performance
• Significantly reduces risk of dead cranking battery
• Affordable alternative to full hydraulic steering systems

The XPS system's intelligent accumulator monitors hydraulic pressure and only activates the pump when fluid volume drops below a predetermined level. This efficient design means minimal electrical draw while still providing full power steering assistance when you need it most—during docking, slow-speed maneuvering, and navigating tight spaces.
