(also known as the Raymarine reversing hydraulic pump). This product is intended to operate the boat’s steering mechanism as part of a Raymarine autopilot system. It is primarily designed for use on boats with an existing hydraulic steering system. Alternatively, you can use this pump on a boat with mechanical steering in conjunction with a secondary steering ram.

Hydraulic Pump - Installation Guide • Try to keep hydraulic fluid loss to a minimum when installing the pump. This will reduce the time and effort required to bleed the system of trapped air after installation: • • WARNING: Before disconnecting any pipes on pressurized systems, you MUST release the pressure at the reservoir by following the manufacturer’s instructions.

Hydraulic Pump - Installation Guide Two line pressurized systems Two line pressurized systems have an external pressurized reservoir. This reduces the possibility of introducing air into the system and reduces any steering ‘sponginess’ caused by pipe expansion. Connect the autopilot pump to the steering system as shown in Figure 6.
