Question
Does Aries steer on hydraulic systems ?

Answer
I have already mounted gears on Hydraulic systems. There is one condition; the wheel is not allowed to slip. You try this by turning the wheel to hard over and then see if you slowly can continue the turning against the stop. If you can, the pump in the wheel house is not tight, it slips. This does not matter when hand steering but is no good for vane gear steering.

Question
Aries has by far the best name in the world. Why ?

Answer
To build equipment for using at sea long term is not easy. You never know what can happen. Many builders and customers do forget that you do not always have normal conditions out there. You can not say "the gear will manage to steer from force 1 till 12". This is not enough. Every part of the gear has to withstand rough misuse. Then the gear will survive year after year like the Aries.
