Does anyone know of a 12volt power steering pump? I have a Powerquest 290 Enticer. I have full hydraulic steering and it runs off of the standard belt driven pump of the starboard engine. I don't have the serpentine setup and would like to get rid of the power steering pumps and belts.

TBH, I think you're opening a rather expensive can of worms. 12v Electric steering can be done, but that's a lot of force with large motors, short wire runs, etc etc. It's very cool, slick, and an awesome system, if your rig comes that way factory. If you have a belt driven pump today that works just fine, I'd vote leave it alone. But if you're hell bent on doing it, I'll watch

Yup. I looked around and decided to stick with what I have. I did buy the IMCO Twin Engine, Twin Power Steering Pump Priority Valve assembly that will let the power steering be operated by both engines. The electric pump sounded like a good idea.
