Why couldnt one use a boat steering valve to do full hydro?

Err, my initial thought is that a device meant to turn a 10 lb rudder in the water is not going to work too well on a 600 lb axle with 150+ lb tires on each end in the rocks...

try turning the rudder at 30mph!!! kinda opposite of a car that gets esier to steer the faster you go :thumb:

Won't work, not enough displacement and all around the completely wrong application.
