What capacitor and size are you guys running to assist your electric over hydraulic rear steer?

Re:

Why would you want to run a capacitor?

Speed of motor


Guessing same theory as big audio amps.

I thought a capacitor was just to help get a motor started. It doesn't increase the speed of the motor after it does so. I've never heard of people with electric/hydro units running capacitors. This is something new to me.

According to Crutchfield, "In car audio, large outboard capacitors, sometimes called stiffening caps, are used to prevent lights from dimming when loud bass notes play. They accomplish this by supplying the amplifier with a quick jolt of power."

It's new to me also...I heard talk of running a capacitor to store power to help with the large draw on the electrical system when u hit the steer switch. I could be all wrong though.

Your over thinking it. Just run big gauge wire and you will be fine it's no different that hooking up a winch.
