merc ITS steering

How does the steering work when engine out? I looked at boat with it and you had to turn the steering a lot to get the drives to move

The steer orbital generates some flow which is why it moves with an engine not running.

But it needs a power steering pump running to be normal

I am putting a used ITS transom on my boat. Does anyone know if it will work with my stock powersteering pump? Havent seen it yet. Does anyone know how to hook the hoses up? Does it work with my power steering cooler also? sorry but i cant find anything on line on how you hook one up and were to get parts for it if i need some.
