Pressurised Engine/Gear Box PTO Pump Driven

Pressurised direct drive pump systems have been available for many years, and in the time that Hypro Marine have been manufacturing them, they have been periodically improved and upgraded to what they are today.

Pumps are available to plug straight on to most popular engine or gear box makes/models or can be specified to come fitted to the engine prior to delivery. Single or twin pumps can be used and a pressure and flow conditioning valve to suit is coupled to the bulkhead mounted reservoirs.

An optional autopilot control valve is also available as part of the bulkhead reservoir. Systems are multi-station capable and because they operate with a pre-charge pressure, the helm pumps are all fully sealed, not vented.

Systems offer nominally 3½ turns lock to lock highly responsive fingertip effort steering with a 2.0 cu.in (33cc) helm which automatically revert to manual wheel steering if there is loss of power to the pump.
