Powerful - Suitable for steering cylinders up to 3500cc (200cu in).
Economical - High performance, low power consumption, compact design.
Fully Integrated Design - No complicated external pipes or fittings to break or leak.
The pump selected must match the size of the vessels steering ram and the power supply capability of the autopilot must also be considered. For optimum autopilot performance the pump should be able to drive the rudder hardover from lock to lock within 13-15 seconds. The drive flow rate should be approximately four times that of the steering ram volume.
