Introduction  
Product description  
WelcometotheinstallationguidefortheRaymarineconstantrunning  
(CR) hydraulic pump. This product is intended to operate the boat’s  
steering mechanism as part of a Raymarine autopilot system.  
The pump provides an ideal drive system for large boats and heavy  
duty steering applications. It is primarily designed for use on boats  
withanexistinghydraulic steeringsystem. Alternatively, youcanuse  
this pump on a boat with mechanical steering in conjunction with a  
secondary steering ram and bypass valve.  
The pump contains a built-in reservoir that holds hydraulic fluid and  
an integral solenoid valve that controls the flow of hydraulic fluid to  
the steering ram. The autopilot system steers the boat by using the  
solenoid control valves to control the flow of hydraulic fluid to the  
steering ram.

Constant Running Hydraulic Pump - Installation Guide  
1. EMC installation guidelines  
All Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the best  
industry standards for use in the recreational marine environment.  
Their design and manufacture conforms to the appropriate  
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards, but correct  
installation is required to ensure that performance is not  
compromised. Although every effort has been taken to ensure that  
they will perform under all conditions, it is important to understand  
what factors could affect the operation of the product.  
The guidelines given here describe the conditions for optimum EMC  
performance, but it is recognized that it may not be possible to meet  
all of these conditions in all situations. To ensure the best possible  
conditions for EMC performance within the constraints imposed by  
any location, always ensure the maximum separation possible  
between different items of electrical equipment.  
For optimum EMC performance, it is recommended that wherever  
possible:  
Raymarine equipment and cables connected to it are:  
At least 3 ft (1 m) from any equipment transmitting or cables  
carrying radio signals e.g. VHF radios, cables and antennas.  
In the case of SSB radios, the distance should be increased to  
7 ft (2 m).  
More than 7 ft (2 m) from the path of a radar beam. A radar  
beam can normally be assumed to spread 20 degrees above  
and below the radiating element.  
The equipment is supplied from a separate battery from that used  
for engine start. Voltage drops below 10 V, and starter motor  
transients, can cause the equipment to reset. This will not damage  
the equipment, but may cause the loss of some information and  
may change the operating mode.  
Raymarine specified cables are used. Cutting and rejoining these  
cables can compromise EMC performance and must be avoided  
unless doing so is detailed in the installation manual.  
Ifasuppressionferrite isattachedtoa cable, thisferriteshouldnot  
be removed. If the ferrite needs to be removed during installation  
it must be reassembled in the same position.

Suppression ferrites  
This figure shows typical cable suppression ferrites used with  
Raymarine equipment. Always use the ferrites supplied by  
Raymarine.  
D3548-2  
Connections to other equipment  
If your Raymarine equipment is to be connected to other equipment  
usingacablenotsuppliedbyRaymarine, asuppressionferriteMUST  
always be attached to the cable near to the Raymarine unit.  
2. Pump mounting  
CAUTION:  
During installation, take care not to knock the CR pumps  
mounting feet on any solid structures as the impact may damage  
the aluminium castings.  
Mount the CR pump:  
on a substantial member to avoid vibration that could damage the  
hydraulic pipes  
on a suitable horizontal 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 steering ram as possible  
using suitable bolts with lock nuts/lock washers  
Note: As the pump can transmit noise to the boat’s structure, we  
recommend placing rubber mounts between the pump and the boat’s  
structure to reduce noise transfer.  
CAUTION:  
Locate the pump in a ventilated and soundproof enclosure.

3. Hydraulic connections  
CAUTION:  
Before you connect the autopilot pump to your hydraulic system  
we strongly recommend that you consult the steering gear  
manufacturer.  
General guidelines  
CAUTION:  
Absolute cleanliness is essential when working with hydraulic  
systems. Even the smallest particle of dirt could prevent the  
steering system check valves from working properly.  
All pipes used to fit the pump should match, or exceed, the  
specification of the existing steering system pipes. Contact the  
steering system manufacturer if you need more information.  
Use flexible pipe to connect the pump to the boats steering  
system - this avoids strain on the pipes.  
Try to keep hydraulic fluid loss to a minimum when installing the  
pump. This will reduce the time and effort required to bleed the  
system of trapped air after installation:  
non-pressurized systems: temporarily fit a non-venting plug  
to the helm reservoir vent to minimize fluid loss  
pressurized systems:  
WARNING:  
Before disconnecting any pipes on pressurized systems, you  
MUST release the pressure at the reservoir by following the  
manufacturers instructions.  
The ram ports on the CR pump are tapped to 1/ in BSP and the  
4
reservoir port is tapped to 3/ in BSP. Three NPT adaptors are  
8
included for conversion to NPT where required.  
Follow the manufacturers instructions if you fit any T-pieces.  
Make sure all hydraulic pipes slope upwards towards the  
reservoir.  
A set of bleed valves near the steering ram, fitted at the highest  
point, will allow any air to escape upwards.

CAUTION:  
DonotusePTFEtapeonhydraulicpipeconnections.Ifnecessary  
use a pipe-sealing compound to ensure a leakproof joint.  
CAUTION:  
Before running the pump for the first time, make sure the system  
contains sufficient hydraulic fluid. You will damage the pump if  
you let it run when dry.  
Check valves  
For single-steering position boats:  
Consult the steering gear manufacturer to determine whether the  
helm pump is fitted with reversing check valves:  
without check valves, the autopilot pump will drive the helm  
pump(sometimesreferredtoasmotoringthewheel)instead  
of moving the steering ram  
If the boat has a single helm pump system without check valves,  
you must incorporate a double pilot check valve (part number:  
M81166) as shown in Figure 3.  
A double pilot check valve may also be necessary on long pipe  
runs - otherwise pipe expansion may cause poor autopilot  
performance. Install the check valve as shown in Figure 3.  
Note:Iftheboathastwosteeringpositions, itwillalreadyhavecheck  
valves installed so the two wheels can operate independently.  
Hydraulic steering systems  
There are three basic types of hydraulic steering systems:  
two line system  
three line system  
two line pressurized system  
On the following pages we describe each type of system and typical  
connectionpointsfortheautopilot pump. Forall ofthesesystemsyou  
will need to connect a third hydraulic pipe as shown between the  
autopilot pump and the helm pump or dedicated system reservoir.

Constant Running Hydraulic Pump - Installation Guide  
Two line systems  
Figure 3 shows a typical two line steering system. Hydraulic fluid  
flows into the ram in either direction, depending on the direction the  
helm pump rotates.  
Connect the autopilot pump to the steering system as shown in  
Figure 3.

Two line pressurized systems  
Two line pressurized systems have an external pressurized reservoir.  
This reduces the possibility of introducing air into the system and  
reduces any steering sponginesscaused by pipe expansion.  
Connect the autopilot pump to the steering system as shown in  
Figure 4.  
Note: Refer to the manufacturers instructions for de-pressurizing  
and re-pressurizing the system.

Three line systems  
In a three line system, the hydraulic fluid flows in only one direction:  
out of the helm pump to the ram  
returning from the other side of the ram to the reservoir via a  
common return line  
The system will include a check valve block to direct all returned  
fluid from the ram back to the reservoir.

Connecting to Type 100/300 course computer  
When installing the CR pump with a Type 100/300 course computer  
we recommend using a Raymarine constant running (CR) interface  
(part number: M81129).  
Connecting the CR interface  
Run cables from the main power supply to:  
the motor on the CR pump  
the CR interface and then onto the course computer power  
Install a suitable circuit breaker in the power supply to the complete  
system (as specified in the core pack installation guide).  
Note: It is important to use the correct cable size for the length of  
cable run between the pump and the power supply (see Table 2).  
The CR interface unit has connections for the solenoid valves (on the  
CR pump) and a bypass valve (if fitting to a mechanical steering  
system):  
connect the solenoid valves to the CR interface as shown in  
Figure 7, using at least 16 AWG (1.5 mm2) cable.

5. Post-installation check  
WARNING:  
Keep clear of moving steering systems at all times. Protect  
moving parts from access during normal use.  
Check the following points after installing the pump:  
1. Is the pump installed as close to the steering ram as possible?  
2. Is the pump secured to a substantial structure on the boat?  
3. Have you connected a third hydraulic pipe between the helm  
pump and autopilot pump?  
4. Have you fitted check valves where appropriate?  
5. Are the hydraulic pipes made of a suitable flexible material (i.e.  
rubber or nylon) with a suitable pressure rating?  
6. Have you sealed all hydraulic connections and checked for leakages?  
7. Are power cables correctly routed and securely connected to the  
course computer?

inthesystemthe steeringwillfeelspongy, particularlywhenyouturn  
the wheel to hardover.  
CAUTION:  
Any air in the hydraulic system will greatly reduce the  
performance of the autopilot and the overall steering system.  
In addition to the manufacturers instructions for bleeding the  
steering system, follow these steps to bleed the autopilot pump when  
you have installed and set up the rest of the autopilot system:  
1. With the system in auto mode, press the -10 button ten times:  
the autopilot pump will try to drive the rudder to port  
counter this rudder movement by turning the helm to  
starboard to keep the rudder stationary  
youwill beabletofeelanyairinthehelmpump: anyairinthis  
side of the pump will rise to the helm pump and exhaust into  
the reservoir  
continue until all of the air is out of this side of the pump  
2. Clear any air on the other side of the pump:  
press the +10 button ten times  
the autopilot will try to drive the rudder to starboard  
counter the rudder movement by turning the helm to port  
continue until all of the air is out of this side of the pump  
3. Repeat in both directions until both sides of the help pump are  
totally free of air.  
Note: Monitor the reservoir at all times and top up with the  
manufacturers recommended hydraulic fluid as required.  
CAUTION:  
After installation and bleeding, leave the system for 24 hours  
then check for any air in the system or leaks at the joints and  
around the pump.  
Maintenance  
On a regular basis:  
check all connections and mountings are secure  
check pipes and cables for any signs of wear or damage  
check hydraulic pipes and connections for leaks

EMC servicing and safety guidelines  
Raymarine equipment should be serviced only by authorized  
Raymarine service technicians. They will ensure that service  
procedures/ replacement parts used will not affect performance.  
There are no user serviceable parts in any Raymarine product.  
Some productsgenerate high voltages, so never handle the cables  
or connectors when power is being supplied to the equipment.  
When powered up, all electrical equipment produces  
electromagnetic fields. These can cause adjacent pieces of  
electrical equipment to interact with one another, with a  
consequent adverse effect on operation. In order to minimize  
these effects and enable you to get the best possible performance  
from your Raymarine equipment, guidelines are given in the  
installation instructions, to enable you to ensure minimum  
interaction between different items of equipment, i.e. ensure  
optimum Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC).  
Always report any EMC-related problem to your nearest Raymarine  
dealer. We use such information to improve our quality standards.  
In some installations, it may not be possible to prevent the  
equipment from being affected by external influences. In general  
this will not damage the equipment but it can lead to spurious  
resetting action, or momentarily may result in faulty operation.
