Default Full hydraulic steering

My cigarette has Marine Machine hydraulic steering. I need to re plumb my steering system, I have 2 active power steering pumps. What is the best method for hooking up pumps? Do I just tee both pressure lines up together and the same for the return lines?
my steering system is made by Marine Machine, which was located in Opa-Locka Florida, are they still in business and where are they now. I can’t find them on google

Both pumps should go to a priority valve and then -8 line to the helm. The return line should go to a fluid reservoir.

Marine Machine is no longer in business. Imco sells what you need if you want to run 2 pumps.
Personally, I'd just run one pump.

You may have known this, but just in case.... I found out the hard way - the filter has a check valve in it, so designed to flow in a single direction. Don't put it in backwards.

Default Marine Machine Ram or rod

I have a 35’ Cigarette Cafe Racer with Marine Machine steering. The port ram has a “pit” in the rod and is leaking. Does anyone have a ram for sale from Marine Machine. The whole ram or the rod would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks very much. I just saw this. I’m not sure how I missed it previously.
