I have a Raymarine ACU-300 autopilot. This unit uses a hydraulic solenoid to control the pressure to each side of the steering cylinder on my 31 ft. single inboard diesel with a close-coupled hydraulic pump. My boat uses the hydraulics to run the bow thruster and anchor windlass. I have the solenoid valve, block and flow control valve. My system runs at about 700 psi. Does anyone have any schematics that they can share? Normally, I would use a bidirectional Siemens pump but I already had the hydraulics fitted when I bought the boat. I also have a NFU steering jog lever that I can install so that I can use the jog lever or the wheel. Thanks guys
