Newer Full hydraulic steering upgrade
I'm working on 28' single engine V-bottom with a older version of hydraulic steering Hynautic is the name of it.
I have removed the entire system and replaced it with Latham Marine rams 2" bore 8" stroke and all new HP lines. I'm running a remote reservoir GM power steering pump and I'm looking for the information on how to select the right steering motor for 4 turns lock to lock. I believe the GM power steering pump is a 6.5 GPM speck and the lines are rated to 6000 PSI. I just need to know a part number or how to get the right specs on what to look for. Any information would be greatly appreciated thanks PS Nobody at Latham is any help |
Imco's chart on page 70 will get you close https://imcosteering.com/imco-catalog-2022-v5.pdf

You have 25.13 in³ of fluid per cylinder. (π•r²•H) So, 50.26/4=12.565 you need a helm that is ~12.5 in³ per revolution. That is if your cylinders bottom out not you transom assemblies.

I assume you mean hydraulic helm when you say steering motor?? The chart I posted a link to gives enough info to get real close. Looks like you need either a 100cc or 125cc helm.

Yes I mean steering helm
Ok thank you for the information |
