Hydraulic fittings and flexible hoses

To ease the installation we have available a range of fixed length flexible hoses with 3/8" BSP ends. The available lengths are 1, 2, 3, 5 and 8 metres. The connections on the pedestal are all 3/8" BSP. To connect the flexible hoses to the smaller cylinders you need to use the converter fitting from 3/8" BSP to 1/4" BSP.

Hydraulic lock valve

 

The hydraulic pump in the pedestal is not equipped with a lock valve (non-return valve). The consequence is that the rudder pressure can be felt on the steering wheel, and when the helmsman loosens the wheel, the wheel will rotate back to the mid position. When this feature isn't appreciated, one should us a lock valve to prevent oil to flow back to the pump.

When the hydraulic system is equipped with a second pump (for inside steering) or a hydraulic autopilot drive one should always us a lock valve between the pedestal and the rest of the hydraulic system. This will force the oil to the cylinder and prevent it to take the easy route to the pump and cause the wheel to rotate.
