Twin mercury 2.5 efi steering

[longman]

Hi
Can anyone suggest what make of hydrolic steering I have:

Two stainless rams fitted facing frount to back on the inner side of each engine
A large stainless tie bar across the back of the engines.

Sorry about the lack of info, the boat is 70 miles away and I am trying to locate new hydrolic pipes.

Cheers

Could be LS 'lecomble schmitt' Small black rams either side of the engine attached to the through tube and onto a probably stainless bracket bolted to the mid section. SEM is a sweedish manufactuer who use's the same rams and makes up all the attaching bits. They can use various hoses most merc hoses depends wots on the rams hyphose should be able or if you get stuck can help out just need some more info.

Thanks Lance,
Sounds similar exept that the rams are stainless steel and fit, as you say to the through tube, but the rear end is fitted to a stainless plate fitted at the back of the engines, with a stainless tie bar between the two engins.

Also after new hydrolic pipes are fitted, is bleeding the steering system the same method as a single engine system.

Thanks
