Furuno Autopilot Pump [PUMPHRP17-12]

The Furuno PUMPHRP17-12 autopilot pump is a top - notch solution for your vessel's hydraulic steering system. It operates on 12 VDC and has an output of 1.6 cubic inches of oil per second, suitable for ram sizes from 14 to 25 cubic inches in volume. This reversing pumpset interfaces smoothly with the NavPilot series autopilot. Its reversible gerotor gear pump, a two - piece gear in an eccentric ring, ensures quiet, reliable, and precise operation. In a hydraulic steering system, when you turn the steering wheel, oil is pumped through the lines to move the steering cylinder, which in turn steers the vessel. If multiple helm pumps are used, connect them with a return/fill line. The pump's output flow rate controls the speed of the steering cylinder.
