Raymarine Hydraulic

Raymarine Type 2 (12V) Hydraulic Autopilot Pump

Navigate with unparalleled confidence and precision with the Raymarine Type 2 Hydraulic Autopilot Pump, a cornerstone of marine electronics for reliable, hands-free steering. Designed for mid-to-large sized vessels with hydraulic steering systems, this robust power unit is the engine behind your autopilot, delivering unwavering control when you need it most. Whether you are on a long-distance passage, trolling for fish, or simply enjoying a day on the water, this hydraulic pump ensures your Raymarine autopilot can steer your boat with accuracy and efficiency, allowing you to focus on the journey ahead. Experience the peace of mind that comes from having a powerful and responsive steering system at your command, capable of handling demanding sea conditions with ease.

The primary benefit of this unit is its sheer power and performance, engineered to manage larger hydraulic steering rams. Its high-pressure capability and substantial flow rate translate into crisp, responsive rudder movements, ensuring your vessel stays true to its course. This eliminates the constant manual adjustments required in choppy waters or strong currents, reducing operator fatigue and improving overall fuel efficiency. Its durable construction is built to withstand the harsh marine environment, providing years of dependable service.

Main Features
* Reversible Hydraulic Pump: Enables precise, two-way control of the steering cylinder for accurate course corrections in both directions.
* High-Pressure Capability: Generates substantial force to effectively manage the steering systems of larger boats, even under heavy load.
* High-Flow Rate: Delivers rapid fluid movement for quick and responsive steering adjustments, crucial for course keeping and collision avoidance.
* Wide Cylinder Compatibility: Purpose-built for versatility, it is perfectly suited for boats equipped with a hydraulic steering ram of a specific size range.
* Efficient 12V DC Operation: Designed to integrate seamlessly with standard marine electrical systems, providing powerful performance without excessive power consumption.

Modules and System Integration

This Type 2 Hydraulic Pump is a fundamental module within a complete Raymarine autopilot system. It works in direct concert with an autopilot course computer, which acts as the brain of the operation. For optimal performance, this pump is specifically designed for compatibility with the legacy Raymarine S3 and S3G autopilot course computer modules (corepacks). When integrated, these modules form a powerful trio—the course computer processes data from a heading sensor, calculates the necessary steering commands, and directs the hydraulic pump to move the rudder accordingly. This modular design allows for targeted upgrades or replacements within an existing S3/S3G series autopilot installation, ensuring continued performance and extending the life of your trusted navigation equipment.
