Default pwr strng pump

I repowered my boat with VP 420 DPX engines. They both have power strng pumps. Is there a way to rig both pumps into the steering system so that either engine will power it? If not, what do I do with the extra pump? Feed the HP line directly into the return on the pump? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

OK, so you're saying run the high pressure line from the pump directly to the return port on the pump?
