I have the single ram system on my boat, if I use these plates would my old pumps be sufficient if I use a Y fitting to feed the rams?
To me it seems like it should be... Boat still weighs the same regardless...
Where are you located Lifesaboat?

I run twin ram tabs, and only have a single pump. My pump is different than the one pictured, not sure how that one works, but the standard bennett pump uses solenoids to send fluid to whichever corresponding tab you press the button for. One thing that I was told by Bennett directly though, is that a twin ram setup with a single pump will be twice as slow as a single ram setup. This is due to their pump being only ably to move so much fluid, if you tee it, you have to move twice as much to move 2 rams, therefore the rams move 1/2 the speed/ The way around this is to run dual pumps, but not really necessary.

Thanks for the info rchevelle! I'd probably have to change my pump as well as the tabs then... The damn pump already moves slow as hell...

you will need 2 pumps, one for each side, and it will move the same speed it does now. If you were to stck with a single pump for dual rams it would move 1/2 as fast as it does now. I kinda like it sometimes K-Planes can be touchy.
