2. Pump mounting
Location requirements
• pump is designed for below-deck installations only.
• fit pump to a substantial structure to avoid vibration that could damage the pipes.
• mount away from sources of heat and excessive vibration and fumes.
• do NOT mount in confined areas containing flammable materials.
• install pump above areas liable to flooding.
• on a suitable surface, clear of spray and possible water immersion.
• level or above the hydraulic steering ram to prevent air collecting in the ram.
• as close to the ram as possible.
Orientation
The pump can be mounted in any orientation. If mounting vertically, position the pump in a
motor-up orientation if possible. The pump has 2 reservoir ports (“R port”). In all cases, select
the R Port which best allows the hose to continuously rise to the helm pump or external
reservoir. The following diagram illustrates the preferred routing of the reservoir hose, based
on different mounting orientations:

Note:
Secure the pump using M6 (

/

inch) bolts and lock nuts.
