1.4 UC128-OBF cylinder description
UC128-OBF is a hydraulic outboard front mount cylinder which has been designed and manufactured to be used
as a component in the hydraulic steering systems, as described in the previous paragraph.
The cylinder is installed to the tilt tube rod of the available engines on the market as shown in the attached docu-
ment "Application guide". It is possible to meet all the different cylinder applications due to the three different link
arms and a proper spacer kit. For the dual engine application, the single cylinder must be mounted with a tie bar
(see par. 1.3) or two cylinders (standard + port) connected by a tie bar can be used. In the standard version the
link arm is mounted on the starboard side, while in the port version it is mounted on the port side (see picture in
par. 1.5). The following picture shows the main cylinder components:
