3. This causes the cylinder rod, which is attached to the vessels rudder or drive unit, to move (ie: rod moves to port) thus causing the vessel to alter course. 4. Fluid displaced from the opposite end (ie: the port end) of the cylinder flows (ie: into the port line) back to the helm pump. 5. For steering in the opposite direction, simply turn the helm the other way. 6 . When no course corrections are required, the integral No-Feed-Back design holds the rudder or drive unit stationary.
