HyDrive Engineering Pty Ltd began manufacturing hydraulic boat steering equipment in South Australia from 1966 and since that time, has been one of the world leaders in boat steering technology. The largest manufacturer in the Southern Hemisphere, HyDrive boasts sales of more than 800,000 units around the world.

The range of hydraulic boat steering has increased dramatically over the past 20 years with considerable emphasis being placed on the growing need for more efficient and powerful steering equipment to handle larger vessels, and larger horsepower on smaller vessels. Now, HyDrive has a product range which caters to all types of vessels from 5 metres to over 100 metres.
