Luckydave, if I was adding power steering o day I would look into this system first. Far less hoses/pieces/parts, no on engine hydraulic pumps to add, no oil coolers to add, etc.

Looks like the trend is to fly by wire helms etc, not sure if I'm quite ready for that although the install has to be even simpler as the only hydraulic lines are from the pump to the ram..........

There's other options, know the Teleflex/Seastar stuff the best. Love Kobelt's products for their high quality, we have a Kobelt helm and also their push/pull engine controls.

Finally got Benedetto out after two months of work. Third time I’ve run the boat since purchase. The one thing that stood out was how effortlessly she made a 180 turn at 18kts. Easier to steer then our 20’ Grady with a single 150.

Re: ADDING POWER STEERING TO Hynautic Hydraulic Steering System
Furuno has a system that works with Accu-steer pump, but requires furuno autopilot. The Furuno FPS8 module bolts onto the pump. It has two flow sensos (connected to the autopilot brain) that measure manual wheel movement and adds assistance with the pump.
When on autopilot, it also can sense manual wheel movement and temp disables the AP.FTFD... i drive a slow 1968 41c381
