PQ290Enticer

Does anyone know of a 12volt power steering pump? I have a Powerquest 290 Enticer. I have full hydraulic steering and it runs off of the standard belt driven pump of the starboard engine. I don't have the serpentine setup and would like to get rid of the power steering pumps and belts.

TBH, I think you're opening a rather expensive can of worms. 12v Electric steering can be done, but that's a lot of force with large motors, short wire runs, etc etc. It's very cool, slick, and an awesome system, if your rig comes that way factory. If you have a belt driven pump today that works just fine, I'd vote leave it alone. But if you're hell bent on doing it, I'll watch

Yup. I looked around and decided to stick with what I have. I did buy the IMCO Twin Engine, Twin Power Steering Pump Priority Valve assembly that will let the power steering be operated by both engines. The electric pump sounded like a good idea.

Thanks for your info. I took a look and the cost is way more than I thought it would be. I will stick with the basics. Thanks again for your help.

Tesla has been doing electric over hydraulic steering since they started. I have seen some hot rods adapting this system, it may be something we will be seeing more of in the marine world shortly.

Toyota MR2s had electric over hydraulic power steering pumps.

Volvo is another option. A few companies make stand alone controllers for them now. I was thinking about doing it on my street car.

Verado outboards use an electric over hydraulic pump that I have seen retrofit into a stern drive boat.
