HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS
The cylinder alignment valve (liquid tiebar) will allow for periodic
re-alignment of twin outboard engines, twin NON power assisted
sterndrives and/or rudders that are NOT linked together via a rigid
tiebar. This valve will also assist in the removal of air from this type
of steering system. It is suggested that a rigid tiebar be fitted in
ANY application, where possible, to avoid the need of re-alignment
of the engines/outdrives or rudders.
Due to potential leakage across the piston seals, there is no way to
determine how frequently re-alignment will be required, boat use, air
removal and several other conditions will play a role in the amount
of times re-alignment is needed. To avoid frequent re-alignment it is
suggested that you install a rigid tiebar..
