The answer to your question is yes you could ad a flow control valve and have
an adjustable flow rate from 0 to the maximum output of the pump. Because of
the way the system works it is highly UN likely you would need to do that for
such a small difference in flow rate. You controller or computer in the
control head turns the motor on when movement of the rudder is needed. There is also
a feedback control on the rudder shaft that tells the controller how much the
rudder has moved so it would simply stop movement a little sooner if the
rudder moves a little faster.
The speed that the rudder travels is affected by many things like fluid
temperature how much pressure is on the rudder battery voltage etc. So it is really
the controlling devices that compensate for all that not the pump volume. So
with a small change like that I think it would work just fine.
Good Luck
