Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Tom,

Is the vessel equipped with hydraulic steering? If so, what is the cubic capacity of the vessel's steering ram.

[Tomk]

The hydraulic Steering Arm cubic capacity is 10.2 CU.IN.
Thank You In Advance Tom K

Tom,

Please click here to view a FAQ addressing this subject. In this case, a Type 1 Hydraulic Pump would be required. Should the powerboat feature a 12V power distribution system, then the T70330 EV-150 Hydraulic would be recommended for this application. Alternatively, Should the powerboat feature a 24V power distribution system, then the T70157 EV-200 Hydraulic would be recommended for this application. As the C-Series Classic MFDs are not designed to support SeaTalkng communications, an E22158 SeaTalk1 to SeaTalkng Converter Kit would be required to interface the MFD to the SeaTalkng / NMEA 2000 backbone which will interface the autopilot's components to one another.

Tom,

The symptoms reported are typically indicative of a circuitry fault within the MFD. Unfortunately, Raymarine can no longer service C-Series Classic MFDs.
