NO VOLTS needed it is a pump driven by the wheel ARM POWER - in fact the
pump shaft tends to be the shaft the wheel is mounted on so the pump and oil
reservior is behind the wheel.

My First Post (´scuse me a moment while I feel special for meself):
Sounds like these hydraulic systems are operating while in pure
sailing (non-motoring) mode. How are these puppies powered? Is there
a 12v pump with a healthy accumulator? Please don't tell me you run
an IC engine while sailing to turn a hydraulic pump just to have easy
steering.
If it's a standalone 12v system, who makes them? Cost? I might want
to adapt one of these to our 17m wood boat(house) on the Amazon (power
only--no sail, but I can dream).
