[CA11] Auto pilot - Tony T - 05-31-18 08:30 AM
I will soon be having an Auto pilot installed on my boat .. The Dealer will be doing it and I would prefer to stay with all Raymarine. My MFD is an e127. The boat is a 30 foot Grady White marlin with twin F250 Yamaha Outboards ., Seastar power assist steering and each motor has a hydraulic cylinder. I believe they are HC5345's. ... Basically I want to double check that the dealer installs the proper pump and system .. So can you tell me what you would install if it were your boat. ?
In advance .. Thanks

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Tony,
Should the steering rams be installed in series (most common) rather than parallel, then a Type 1 Hydraulic Pump would be used for this application. The Type 1 Pump will be installed between the power assist pump and the steering ram. Should the vessel feature a 12V electrical system, then it would be recommended that an EV-150 be installed for this application.
