Hydraulic Steering Resevoir Bottle
What is the purpose for the Resevoir bottle on Hydraulic Steering,
I've noticed some boats with full hydraulic have them and others do not. Just wondering what the reasoning is for having the bottles.

On my boat, there wasn't enough capacity in the GM container. When the engine was running, it would suck it dry. When the engine was shut off, it would overflow. The reservior bottle adds just a little more capacity to the system.
Now, where is that spell check button?

it has A LOT to do with the geometry of the rams...as you trim up and down the the geomerty changes...some actuation ratios are more than others. there are some other issue involved as well but it's a no brainer to have one.
