All boats with hydraulic steering should carry a emergency kit that includes hyd fluid and a means to get it into the system a wrench to tighten fitting (usually a common crescent wrench will do) and some ram stops and zip ties to install them especially on twin installations .

seems as hyd. steering gets more popular i have seen lots of people stuck on the lake with no steering . mostly when fitting come loose and the fluid is lost . all fittings should have a drop of lock tite on the threads when assembled on these systems , its a great system and in no way unreliable when properly maintained and installed no fun spending the night on the lake because you cant steer your self in.
