I need to replace the wheel drive on my ST4000. The old unit could no react quickly enough with my existing hydraulic steering. Would replacement with Type 1 hydraulic pump be a possible fix, system is 5 turns lock to lock. The boat is full keel with a barn door rudder, 43ft 15 tons.
The steering has the pump and reservoir at the helm but with only two lines leading out to a manifold which supplies the two steering rams. Could the reservoir inlet at the pump be ignored?
Thanks for any insight, James
