How the System Works

Helm → Pump → Power → Cylinder → Rudder

Marsili systems operate using a straightforward hydraulic principle that ensures smooth and precise control of the rudder.

1. The helm pump or control unit regulates hydraulic oil flow
2. The power pack (where fitted) provides the required hydraulic pressure
3. The cylinder converts this pressure into mechanical movement of the rudder

This simplicity is key to achieving reliability, ease of maintenance, and long-term performance.
