IMPORTANT USER PRECAUTIONS AND PROCEDURES
- Please take time to acquaint yourself with the Power steering system components, operation
characteristics and safety features.
- Should the helm pump warning light illuminate or the alarm sound, immediately reduce engine power
to idle and go to the helm position with hydraulic back up (Lower helm on Flybridge boat).
When carrying out any servicing work on the Power Steering System or removal of the systems
Oil Tank Filler Cap release the system pressure.
(Invert the air pressure valve dust cover and press it against the top of the pressure valve)
- The power steering system can have two types of helm pumps installed - with or without hydraulic
backup.
- The system will shut down immediately in the event of an unexpected major component failure related
to the safe operation of the system. Oil or electric motor overheat conditions will activate the helm
pump warning light and alarm sounder, the system will monitor the alarm condition for a further two
minutes before system shut down. If the alarm condition is resolved within 2 minutes the system will
continue to function normally.
- In the event of system shut down, the helm pump with hydraulic back up function will become the
only operational helm (the electric only helm unit will not function) the steering system will function as
normal but with an increased number of wheel turns accompanied by a heavier wheel feel.
Do not continue to drive the boat at high speeds using the back up system.
Cylinder bypass:
To centralize the rudders, release valve locknut, open valve NV3 & NV4 (turn ccw
until stop).The cylinder is now free and the rudders can be centralized. Return NV3
and NV4 to original closed position (cw until stop) and tighten valve locknut
- immediately reduce engine
power to idle, and go to the
helm position with hydraulic
backup!
IN THE EVENT OF SHUTDOWN

The Power steering system comprises four main components.
1) The System Unit, consists of the Electronic Control Unit (ECU), an Oil lter and a
Valve Block integrated with the Oil Tank (Reservoir).
2) A Hydraulic Pump Unit, driven by an attached 24volt D.C. electric motor.
3) 2 x Helm Pumps
4) Hydraulic Cylinder(s)
The lower (primary) steering position helm has two functions:
a) It contains electronic sensors which transmit a signal to the ECU for normal Steering
operation.
b) It acts as a Hydraulic Helm Pump (back-up) in the event of an ECU system shut
down (NB, The number of wheel turns will increase from stop to stop during back up
mode).
The upper/ybridge helm has electronic sensors that pulses signals to the ECU for
normal Steering operation.
Both helms have a built in warning LED (Red). This will illuminate during an alarm
condition.

System Unit/Servo Pump installation
- Locate a suitable position to install the System Unit and Servo Pump Unit. Make sure that the selected
mounting position is adequate to support the system unit (approx 25 kg) and servo pump (approx. 10 kg)
- Mount the system unit and servo pump.
- Clean and ush all hoses. Use plastic caps or tape to seal the hose ends before the hoses are installed.
- When routing the hoses, avoid restrictions, hot spots, sharp edges and tight bends (Rmin = 130 mm
for 3/8” hose and 180 mm for ½” hose). Secure hoses with appropriate fastening devices to avoid
cha󰀩ng.
Hose installation
- Connect the servo pump hydraulic inlet/suction hose to hydraulic port S on the system unit. Connect
servo pump hydraulic outlet/pressure hose to hydraulic port P (lter) on system unit. Please refer to
drawing on page 8 for hydraulic port layout on the system unit.
- The Hoses can be connected either vertically or horizontally into the helm pump
(see helm pump description)
- Connect the hoses to the helm pump and the cylinder according to drawing on page 8 and 12.
- Connect the cooling water inlet/outlet hoses to the engine cooling system. Ensure that the hoses are
installed in accordance with this manuals paragraph “Hose Installation”.
Hose connecting
- Connect the temperature sensor leads to the system unit (external contacts). Connect the power leads
from (B-,P-) to Servo Pump (-), and (P+) on system unit external relay to (+) on Servo Pump.
- Connect battery power (24V DC) to the System Unit power terminals (positive cable to (B+) terminal
and negative to (B-) terminal & torque load to 17Nm)
- A 50Amp fuse must be installed in proximity of the batteries on the positive cable run, to protect the
system from damage from possible short circuiting.
For schematic drawings , see page 15 (Twin helm) & page 16 (Single helm).

FILLING AND BLEEDING PROCEDURE
NOTE!
Always ensure that the Servo System
(tank) Pressure is released before
removing the Tank Filler Cap.
(See IMPORTANT USER PRECAU-
TIONS AND PROCEDURES)
- Fill the tank with hydraulic oil ISO-
VG-15 (DIN51524-3 HVLP specica-
tions), Ensure that the oil is clean
(use a lling lter).
- Set Servo Unit valves to:
NV1: Closed (turn CW to stop)
NV2: Open (turn CCW to stop)
NV3: Open (turn CCW to stop)
NV4: Open (turn CCW to stop)
- Switch ‘ON’ the main power to the Servo Unit.
- Set the Ignition switch to “ON” or activate
Engine Override Switch to “UP” (Switch no.2),
in the ECU Control Box (page.18)
- Run the pump for 3 minutes by operating the
Pump Override Switch (position “UP”) (Switch
no.1). If the oil level falls below the Level
Gauge during bleeding, replenish the oil. NB:
Larger yachts require several replenishments
of the tank during bleeding.
- Pressurize the tank to 1.5 bar with the supplied
air pump (bicycle).
- Wait for 3 minutes
- Turn the steering wheel at the lower steering
position (Helm hyd/electric Pump) 20 revolu-
tions to Port, then 20 revolutions to Starboard.
- Reset Servo Unit valves to their initial positions
NV1: Open (turn CCW to stop) NV2: Closed (turn CW to stop)
NV3: Closed (turn CW to stop) NV4: Closed (turn CW to stop)
- Deactivate Servo System By switching ‘OFF’ the Ignition Switch, Engine Override Switch (Switch no.2)
and Pump Override Switch (Switch no.1).
NB. The steering system now will act as a normal hydraulic steering and will be heavier to operate.
- Finally, rotate the Steering Wheel to one of its end stops and hold with pressure against the
stop, for approximately 5 sec. Carry out this procedure in the opposite direction.
Repeat this procedure one more time in both directions.
- Check the system for signs of leakage.
- Replenish oil to upper half of the oil level gauge.
- Pressurize the tank to 1.5 bar with the supplied air pump (bicycle).
- Both the Pump Override Switch and the Engine ON switch must be set in the “down” position during
normal operations when the Main Engines are running.
