Dual Power Steering pumps?
 

Did a repower to Merc 496s and they each have a PS pump and reservoir. Since the motors I replaced had one spinning each way only one engine is plumbed to drive the PS.

Can I have both pumps running and connected so I have power steering regardless of which engine is running? I like running one engine when trolling/fishing.

Thanks Swampy

Yes, my Fountain has pumps on both motors, pretty nice. There is a "Compensating valve" to do it? Think that is what it's called.
Its the red block below the filter.

Your motors go the same way now?

dual p.s. pumps...
 

simple install lizard. even you can do it. called a proportioning valve. fountain was about the only company that did it.

Thanks guys - yes both motors go the same way

Latham sells it, I wanted to do this on my last boat and never got to it

plumb each pump into a check valve so that one pump cannot backfeed the other pump when one engine is not running. then T the lines together going to your helm

Imco sells what need need as well.

I have an Imco for sale for $250 if anyone needs one

I had my 28 Saber twin engine converted to dual steering pumps. Can call Imco and they will get you setup. Cost was like $4K not including the labor, but that included all new hydraulic lines for both pumps.
