Frequently Asked Questions - Verado FURUNO

What is the Furuno Verado pumpset used for?

It is used to integrate an autopilot system with a Mercury Verado hydraulic steering system, allowing automatic steering control.

What components are included in the kit?

The kit includes hoses, tee fittings, SAE-06 to SAE-04 adapters, and hose clamps for installation.

How is the pumpset connected to the helm?

The helm pump’s L and R hoses are relocated to the outlet fittings on the reversing pumpset, and the supplied hoses connect between the helm pump and the tees.

Can multiple helm pumps be used with this system?

Yes, multiple helm pumps are connected in series for the primary circuit (P and T) and in parallel for the output ports (L and R). See Figures 2.3 and 2.4.

What hydraulic fittings are on the pumpset?

The pumpset has SAE-06 ports that connect to the tee fittings and adapters provided.

How should the fill line be routed?

Cut the fill line between the lower helm and pump unit, insert a barbed tee, and connect the third port to the fill port on the pumpset. The line should have a gradual slope to allow air to escape.

Is there a pressure relief valve in the system?

Yes, the Verado pump unit has a built-in pressure relief valve to protect the system.

What maintenance is required?

Regularly check hydraulic fluid levels, ensure hoses are not kinked or chafed, and secure them with tie straps.

Can I install this pumpset myself?

Installation requires standard hydraulic practices; professional installation is recommended to ensure proper operation and safety.

Where can I get spare parts?

Contact Furuno or Accu-Steer directly for spare parts and technical support. Email: [e-mail].

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 The autopilot/Verado hydraulic hose kit provides the necessary parts to install Furuno/Accu-Steer reversing pump sets with Verado Hydraulic Steering systems.
1.2 Standard installation practices should be exercised. Hoses should be installed in such a manner to avoid sharp bends and chafing. All hoses should be tied down using tie straps or similar devices.

3. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND CONNECTIONS

3.1 Oil from the Pump Unit flows to the helm through port

and returns to the Pump Unit from port (This is referred to as the primary circuit). The pump unit has a pressure relief valve built in. The helm pump has a non return check valve located internally, in the pressure port. As the steering wheel on helm pump is rotated in the starboard direction for example, internal valving inside the helm pump, directs the oil from the pressure port into the starboard line and the oil from the port line is directed to the return port. The starboard and port lines are marked L (left) and R (right) on the back of the helm pump.
3.2 When multiple helm pumps are used the primary circuit lines (P and T) are connected in series, as shown in Figures 2.3 and 2.4. The output ports of the multiple helm pumps (L and R) are connected in parallel.
3.3 The autopilot reversing pumpset is connected in parallel with the helm pump outlets, as shown in one line drawings
3.4 The Tee fittings and adapters (SAE -06 to SAE -04) supplied connect directly to the reversing pumpset using the SAE-06 ports in the pump block.
3.5 The hoses from the helm pump (L and R) are relocated to the outlet fittings in the reversing pumpset. The hosed supplied are connected between the helm pump (L and R) and the other side of the tees on the reversing pumpset.
3.6 The fill line between the lower helm and the Pump Unit is to be cut and a hose barbed tee inserted. Small gear clamps are provided to ensure the hose barb connections do not come apart. The third port from the Tee is connected to the fill port on the reversing pumpset. This fill line should have a gradual slope from the reversing pump to the Tee to allow air to escape from the pumpset.
