Furuno 24v Pump For Up To 25 Cui Rams

The Furuno 24v Pump For Up To 25 Cui Rams is a precision hydraulic pump assembly engineered to integrate Furuno's NavPilot series autopilot systems with marine hydraulic steering installations. After years on the water, any experienced boater knows that autopilot reliability directly impacts safety and fatigue on extended runs—this pump delivers the dependable automation needed for consistent, hands-free steering performance. Designed for vessels with hydraulic rams up to 25 cubic inches, it bridges modern electronic navigation with proven mechanical steering systems, making it essential for retrofitting or upgrading existing marine autopilot setups.

At the heart of this pump is a reversible gerotor gear pump—a two-piece design housed in an eccentric ring that generates smooth, controlled pressure reversals for bidirectional steering command. The gerotor architecture is inherently quiet, eliminating the noise and vibration that plague cheaper piston or vane pump designs; on a long day at the helm, that silence translates to reduced operator fatigue and better acoustics throughout the pilothouse. Operating on 24-volt DC power, the pump delivers the precise flow modulation required by NavPilot autopilot controllers, ensuring tight course-holding and minimal rudder hunting. At 8 pounds, it integrates cleanly into compact engine rooms without adding significant weight or bulk.

This pump is ideal for commercial fishing vessels, trawlers, and cruising yachts where hydraulic steering is the standard. It's particularly valuable for skippers operating in demanding conditions—offshore, extended groundfish runs, or coastal work—where autopilot stability and reliability cannot be compromised. Installation requires proper integration with existing NavPilot electronics and hydraulic manifolds; consult your Furuno dealer or marine systems integrator to confirm ram displacement compatibility and pressure line routing. The MPN PUMPHRP17-24 is the correct specification for 24-volt systems; verify your vessel's electrical system voltage before ordering.
