Mainship Hydraulic Steering

[rciamaga]

I am new to the forum and about to purchase a 2006 Mainship 34 Trawler. It has no autopilot so I will install one. Does anyone have a schematic diagram of the dual helm hydraulic steering system?

Thanks

Ron

I was just reading a short article (seems like solid info) about hydraulic steering on boats up to 90'-

Marine Hydraulic Steering Systems

I think the info presented might be a little help for you. I'm not finished with it, but thought I'd post the link here for you and others with questions.
(I have no boat, but I have been learning all I can about them)

Thanks. I went to the suggested sites and found great primers on the subject.

Does anyone know the size of the ram on Mainship 34 Trawlers?
