Default Auto Pilot Relay Question

Hi,

I have a Robertson/Simrad AP45 pilot currently using mechanical relays to
control the steering pumps. Pumps are 240 VAC not sure of the HP or current,
probably 2 or 5 HP motors.

Is there any reason I can't replace the noisy troublesome mechanical relays
with a solid state relay such as a Teledyne like this:

Thanks,
