Anyone have link to a manual or plumbing diagram for dual pump Eaton steering system? Early 2000's Merc #6 setup, but says Imco on the tilt wheel assembly. I can't make out the # on the tag.
Trying to determine the flow direction on existing steering lines, before filling the system.

Many Thanks.. Sent ya a PM with my address.
Those splitter blocks are mounted in a bilge cubby hole where you can hardly get to em. We pulled the pump lines a while back and I totally forgot to mark em. Do you recall if the big silver in-line filter is on the pressure or return line? I had the install diagram bookmarked while back, but can't locate it online now.

filter is on the pressure side. it is there in case the pump fails so you dont fill the helm with metal. make sure you dont put the filter on backwards or it can blow the end off and block off the outlet.

Thanks all. That should do it.
Filter was still mounted up in boat, but we had pulled the lines off the Y blocks so unsure which side was pressure or return. Also switching from Merc 6 to a Latham 4 ram setup, had a 50/50 chance on the left and right hoses..
