A steering arrangement for ships propelled by water jet, comprising a steering device (6) that is pivotal about an essentially vertical shaft (5) having a first centre line (C1), at least one hydraulic cylinder (2; 3) for turning the steering device, which hydraulic cylinder is directly or indirectly articulately connected to the ship's body at one of its ends (2B; 3B), a turning device (4) connected to the shaft, for attachment to a second end (2A; 3A) of the hydraulic cylinder at a distance from the shaft, a reversing device (7) arranged in connection with the steering device about an essentially horizontal shaft (12), an additional hydraulic cylinder (9) arranged to act on the reversing device, the additional hydraulic cylinder following the movement of the steering device, characterised in that all the hydraulic cylinders (2,3,9) are arranged within a sheltered space (1) located above the extension of the vertical shaft, which space is accessible for maintenance from the inside of the ship, and in that the arranging of the hydraulic cylinder at the turning device in relation to the steering device is arranged such that the relative position of the reversing device is uninfluenced by the relative position of the steering device.
