Default power steering

ok i have twin 6.2 377 mercury marine 2008 engines b 1 drives in my formula Does each engine have its own power steering oil cooler to pair with its power steering pump? Also, do the oil lines connect to the steering ram? Do they both go into different ports then travel back to each engine ? I cant seem to find a twin engine diagram online. thanks

Both motors will have the same setup. Only one will provide the hydraulic pressure. That assumes that its stock.

both motors have pumps and coolers. One will just be looped doing nothing.

Default Reviving This Thread

I'm putting together a project with twin 2000 7.4L MPI L29 stock motors with stock Bravo one drives - can someone post pics/part numbers for what is necessary to hook up the powersteering plumbing - I won't have external steering (at this time) and it appears I need to only use one P/S system so the hoses on the non-used P/S pump will need to be bypassed? running the standard serpentine belt on both motors -
Thanks in advance for the help
