HYDRAULIC STEERING SYSTEM.
a.
The LCM-8 has a hydraulic steering gear. The engine driven power steering pumps have a total controlled
flow rate of 3 gpm. The output of each pump passes through a check valve into a flow divider. The flow divider, which is
set at 1050 psi, supplies 2 gpm of hydraulic oil to the helm unit through line (1). The remaining flow is returned to the
hydraulic reservoir via return filter
