Common Question of SI-TEX 18CI Pumpset
What is the 18CI Pumpset?
The SI-TEX 18CI Pumpset is a hydraulic autopilot pump set for compatible steering systems, using 12V power according to the listing. Confirm cylinder volume, hydraulic fittings, hoses, control computer, battery, wiring, and hydraulic autopilot system compatibility before installation.
What cylinder size does it support?
The 18CI designation identifies an intended hydraulic-cylinder capacity of 18 cubic inches. Confirm the steering cylinder’s actual volume, hose dimensions, pump direction, control unit, voltage, current draw, and mounting requirements before purchase for proper autopilot performance.
