M81202 - Raymarine Type 3 Hydraulic Linear - 12V

Type 3 Hydraulic Linear system for mechanically steered vessels up to 77,000lb (35,000kg) displacement

The hydraulic linear drive system is designed for boats with existing mechanical steering systems, not hydraulic steering systems. It provides a totally isolated autopilot steering system consisting of:

• Hydraulic ram: a self-contained autopilot steeringcylinder with a load limiting system and a built in clutch (to allow friction-free steering when the autopilot is not in use).
• Reversing hydraulic pump: powers the hydraulic ram.
• Hydraulic fluid reservoir: supplies hydraulic fluid to the system.

The Raymarine Type 3 Hydraulic Linear - 12V (part number M81202) is an essential component for marine autopilot systems. This unit is designed for integration into existing hydraulic steering systems, providing the mechanical drive necessary for automatic course keeping. It is suitable for commercial vessels and larger recreational yachts that utilize hydraulic steering and require robust autopilot functionality. The Type 3 Hydraulic Linear addresses the need for precise and reliable steering control, reducing operator fatigue on long passages and enabling more efficient navigation. This 12V unit is specifically engineered to interface with compatible Raymarine autopilot course computers and offers a direct solution for upgrading or replacing a critical autopilot drive component.
