Hydraulic Layouts

notice

If the steering system in your boat does not match any of the hydraulic layouts in this manual and you are unsure how to install the pump, contact Garmin Product Support.

Before you start the pump installation, identify the type of hydraulic steering system in your boat. Each boat is different, and you must consider certain aspects of the existing hydraulic layout before deciding where to mount the pump.

Installation Considerations

The pump must be reconfigured if the boat is equipped with an unbalanced steering cylinder (page 3).

The pump should be mounted the pump horizontally if possible.

If the pump must be mounted vertically, mount it with the hydraulic connections facing upward.

Garmin recommends using the t-connector method to connect the hydraulic lines to the pump. See the diagram page 8 to view the alternate connection method.

To allow for easy pump disabling and removal, Garmin recommends installing shut-off valves in the hydraulic lines between the pump manifold and t-connectors.
