I don't have a pic of the front of the engine mocked up.
That said, I was able to rig my dry sump pump on a home built billet bracket I made and still keep the merc alternator and power steering bracket in tact.

I worked with CV products and they were extremely helpful in coming up with my stacked up twin pin drive pulleys.

I put together two different systems, a European truck electric PS system and an automotive electric PS system. Both failed. The pressure is there but the volume isnt enough.

The Latham is a nice piece but you could probably do better for less money.

You should contact peterunwin on OSO that has the Outerlimits SV 29. He obviously knows what he is doing and I am sure he could probably put together a parts list.

Here is pic of our PS pump rigging from 2009. Pretty simple and the pump works great.

LA, I use a Verado pump with a CharLynn helm valve on my 28 Skater. Works great. Paul Everett at Zeiger set me up with the components. Check out "My New 28 Skater" thread in Skater BS.

Do you know what the part number is on the Charlynn helm valve? How well does it work? Any draw on motor?

I wanted to bring this back to the top since it has been years since the last reply. Anyone switch to an electric driven pump instead of the engine/belt drive pump? Something like this: Dometic SeaStar Power Assist | Dometic USA
