one would "Think" that any smart Hydrolic Engineer would have designed
a Steering System that used a single pump, running all the time, and
do the "Steering" by using a Vickers type "Solenoid Shuttle Valve" to
supply the Port & Starboard Hydrolic Oil Movement Control. No big
voltages except the Motor Contactor, which is (On/Off), and the Solenoid
Shuttle Valve Coils draw only a couple of amps at 12/24/32 VDc. Easily
switched with SemiConductors.

Right. And what would the constant unnecessary current draw of the pump be?
It would drain your battery in no time.

Meindert, did you READ the guys Post???? He is running 240Vac Pumps.....
Just where are the "Batteries" that are feeding "These" 240Vac Pumps
in a system????? Anyone running 240Vac Pump Motors off Batteries,
NEEDS to have his Head Examined........
