The Hydraulic Helm Pump is a key marine component used to steer vessels by converting hydraulic pressure into mechanical motion. Marine pumps are essential for various onboard operations, including bilge pumping, ballast transfer, and cooling systems. These pumps ensure efficient fluid management and operational safety in marine environments.

The Hydraulic Helm Pump typically has a size range of 1.5" to 3" in diameter, with a grade suitable for marine applications. It operates with hydraulic fluids of viscosity 15-68 cSt. Buoyancy is not a critical factor as it is mounted internally. Common materials include cast iron, stainless steel, or bronze for corrosion resistance.

Marine Pumps vary in size from 2" to 12" depending on the application (bilge, ballast, or fuel transfer). They are graded for saltwater or freshwater use. Viscosity handling ranges from 1 cSt (water) to 1,000 cSt (heavy oils). Buoyancy is not applicable as they are fixed installations. Materials include bronze, stainless steel, or reinforced thermoplastics for durability in marine environments.
