53 MY steering ram size

[MikeP]

I apologize for asking this but I left the boat a few days ago so I can't check. I would like to know the CC capacity for the 53MY Hynautic steering ram. I know this has been on the site before but I couldn't find it.


Thanks.

13.1 cubic inches, 9" stroke. Why do you need to know?

I am doing some hopefully(!) unnecessary research on completely replacing the AP if I have to. If I do so it would be with a Garmin system and the pump size (and system price) is pretty much dependent on the volume of the steering ram.

The day I left the boat, the autopilot quit working. It's an original Raytheon Neco that came installed on the boat from the dealer in 1980. It didn't work when we bought the boat but I went through it shortly afterward and it has worked great up to now and I DON"T want to replace it if I can sort out the problem. The solenoids that activate the valves are working but the pump won't energize. I didn't have time to check much of anything so it could be something very simple though it's not fuses or circuit breakers - I did check those.

So my question re the ram is a "just in case" for planning purposes prior to getting back to the boat.

You NEED the 2.1

dont cut corners. This is the right pump for your boat.

I have a complete Neco system with 2 heads. Was working when pulled, but that was abt 15 years ago. It or any of the components are yours for the shipping.

Understand! Thanks, that's the one I'll get if I have to go the new AP route.
