AP Pump Tie In Loction

[Cliff808]

Hello,

I ordered a EV-150 AP and have been researching on where to place the Tee's to tie into the hydraulic lines. Ive read that the pump should be located as close to the hydraulic cylinder as possible, however in the diagrams on I've noticed that the tee's are placed close to the helm. Where would the optimum placement be? Also, is it possible to add the tee's onto the fitting from the helm or the cylinder, instead of cutting the original hoses coming from the helm to tie them in. Thanks in advance for the help.

Mahalo,
Cliff
