Power steering pump delete kit
 
Would there be any interest in a power steering pump delete kit for the second motor who's pump does nothing but circulate fluid ??

I'd actually be interested in a system that combines BOTH into one. Really sucks to not have power steering when the starboard engine goes south. Kinda defeats the idea that with two motors, you can always idle back.....

Pretty sure you cannot parallel them as they would be fighting each other.

IMCO and Zeiger are just 2 of the companies that make a common valve system that ties the systems together so that you can run 1 or both.

Most Fountains came rigged to run both pumps.

Yup so as long as one motor runs you have power steering.

Yes, mine is set up this way. There is usually a valve that prevents them from paralleling, which ever one is started first is the one that is supplying the pressure.

I wish I had one on the center motor, would be nice to idle on one if I'm trying to be stealthy :lolhit:

Well it appears that since I have a Baja, I didn't get the special adapter etc. ;)

I guess there would be no demand then.

Thanks

So do you have both power steering pumps? One is just looped? My formula had an idler on the port engine, and a single pump on the stbd
