raymarine type 1 hydraulic pump manual pricelist
Boats with traditional hydraulic steering systems will use an Evolution autopilot driven by a hydraulic pump. The pump connects to the boat"s hydraulic steering lines and allow the autopilot to steer the boat by controlling the flow of fluid through the boat"s steering system. The hydraulic pump is controlled by the Evolution autopilot Actuator Control Unit (ACU.)
Hello, I have a Raymarine Type 1 hydraulic drive pump which is getting CURRENT LIMIT alarms on the ST6001 control head and shifting to STANDBY. This is a new development. No similar alarms for the past 4 years of my ownership. All that I know from previous owner is the AP was installed prior to 2002.
I measured the motor current with a clamp-on DC ammeter while inputting +10 degree changes, then -10. Current is about 14 to 16 amps driving the hydraulic pump with the boat at standstill. Max amps measured was 19.5 when trips to STANDBY. Rudder swings with little resistance when disconnected from the ram. Not bound in any way.
When I attempted to disconnect the motor from the pump base, some fluid leaked out. Maybe 2 tablespoons worth before I put it back together and no leaks. Does this mean a bad seal?
A. It is indeed not hard to bleed the hydraulic steering system. Good vessel maintenance would include regular replacement of the fluids and lubricants within the vessel"s engine(s), steering, and hydraulic system. When replacing the pump, this would indeed be a good time to replace the fluid within the hydraulic steering system. There are a number of good videos on YouTube addressing how to change out and then bleed the steering system. The Bleeding the system section of Chapter 5. Post-installation check of the Hydraulic Pump Installation Guide calls for following the instruction of the hydraulic helm manufacturer when bleeding the hydraulic steering system and that afterwards follow the additional instructions provided within this section of the Hydraulic Pump Installation Guide.
Unfortunately, the S1000"s course computer is exclusively designed for use with the Type 0.5 Pump which had been packaged with S1000 autopilot. Moving to a hydraulic autopilot pump having greater capacity will require that the autopilot be changed. While it is quite possible that a Type 1 Hydraulic Pump may be proper for the new outboard"s steering system, the required model of hydraulic pump will ultimately be determined by the outboard steering ram"s cubic capacity. If supplied with this information, then the appropriate autopilot hydraulic pump and corresponding Evolution Autopilot System Pack may be specified.
A search of the Internet yielded the following, but it is recommended that this be verified with Evinrude"s support team: G2 is 8.9 cu in displacement. If so, then a Type 1 Hydraulic Pump would indeed be recommended. The T70330 EV-150 Hydraulic Autopilot System Pack includes the pump, Evolution Autopilot Components, and networking component required to interface the Evolution Autopilot Components to one another. An E22158 SeaTalk1 to SeaTalkng Converter Kit may be used to interface the C80 MFD to the backbone used to interface the Evolution autopilot components to one another.
My boat is a 2005 320 Searay Sundancer with a SeaStar Helm pump HH5741, non pressurized. I purchased SeaStar hydraulic hoses and a SeaStar pump fitting kit HF5501, which consists of T fittings and adapters for the hydraulic hoses to connect to the existing SeaStar helm pump and the raymarine autopilot pump.
The brass adapters directly connected to the pump came with the pump along with o-rings, which are captured in the adapters. These adapters are 1/4" BSP to 1/4" NPT(F).
PS. I added a picture of the pump with the connectors and a picture of the fitting adapter kit to the post, but they do not seem to appear in the post. But they do appear in the attechment list of my draft.
I suspect that if you consulted with Sea Star"s support team, you would find that the two capped ports are for an optional hydraulic fluid reservoir and for the additional hydraulic hose from the autopilot"s hydraulic pump shown within the diagram below.
Should no hydraulic fluid reservoir have been installed with your helm pump, then the helm pump would be acting as a limited capacity reservoir for hydraulic fluid. One of the caps which you have referenced will need to be removed to accommodate connecting the additional hydraulic hose from the autopilot"s hydraulic pump.
Regarding the location of the autopilot"s hydraulic pump, best performance will be achieved when the pump has been located in close proximity to the steering ram. The pump"s installation location should also be protected from exposure to moisture associated with rain and waves. However, it should be noted that it sometimes not practical, particularly in smaller boats, to install the autopilot hydraulic pump in very close proximity to the steering ram. In smaller boats, the location of the autopilot hydraulic pump is less important with respect to the performance of the autopilot. However, it is key to ensure that the autopilot hydraulic pump is located at a lower height relative to the helm pump and that the hose is run in a continuously upward direction from the autopilot hydraulic pump to the helm pump.
Raymarine has made no recommendations regarding the specifications of the hydraulic fluid which should be used with its autopilot hydraulic pumps. Instead, Raymarine recommends that that the steering system be maintained with hydraulic steering fluid which adheres to the specifications of the vessel"s hydraulic helm pump and steering ram.
EV-1 autopilots consist of a Control Head, EV-1 Sensor, Autopilot Control Unit (ACU) and drive unit. The drive unit (inboard mechanical/ hydraulic or cockpit mounted) and correct ACU for your vessel is dependent on the steering system and displacement of the vessel itself.
EV-2 has been designed for the latest drive-by-wire steering systems and connects directly to Raymarine"s SeaTalkng bus. EV-2 also has a dedicated CAN Bus port for direct connection to steer-by-wire steering systems - such as ZF Pod Drives, Yamaha Helm Master, Volvo IPS and SeaStar Solutions Optimus systems. A single CAN Bus connection to the EV-2 eliminates the need for an Autopilot Control Unit (ACU) further simplifying installation.
Hydro-Balance™ Technology is an all new, patent-pending software update that delivers superior autopilot performance on boats with hydraulic steering, and particularly on boats with rudder reference-less steering and outboard motors.
Hydro-Balance™ is now available and any existing Evolution™ autopilot system customers can download the new software, free of charge, from the software download area of the Raymarine website.
Complete your Evolution autopilot system with an autopilot control. The new p70s and p70Rs control heads feature vibrant colour displays and are powered by Raymarine’s intuitive LightHouse user interface.
The p70Rs features a rotary dial control for power boaters. Use the rotary dial for menu and course changes or activate power steer mode and steer manually right from the p70Rs.
Control your Evolution Autopilot directly from your Raymarine aSeries, cSeries, eSeries or gS Series multifunction display. Note that your multifunction display must be running Raymarine"s LightHouse II software and that some autopilot functionality may not be available if your system does not include a dedicated autopilot control head.

sizing for these systems is really dependent on boat size, changing to a hydraulic system is not going to give you any advantages unless you replace the complete wheel to rudder system. if you dont plan to replace the lot, you are going to vastly increase the complexity of your system, thus increasing likelyhood of failure.
The Type 1 Hydraulic Pump is intended to operate the boat’s steering mechanism as part of a Raymarine autopilot system. It is primarily designed for use on boats with an existing hydraulic steering system.
