Carver Owners Forum

Hello all, My name is Terry I own a 2006 Carver 33ss I bout it about two years ago with intentions to move it from Boston where I bought it to fort peirce Florida. But sadly life got in the way and the boat has been stored on long Island since sept 2019 and next week I will get to see my boat for the first time in almost 2 years and pick my journey back up . I'm wanting to install an autopilot and I'm thinking about a raymarine ev-150 but I don't know what size hydraulic pump I need and the fittings required any help would be appreciated.

Welcome Aboard. Fortunately there are some pretty smart members here. Someone will certainly be able to assist.

Welcome aboard. Wow, two years, that's a long time to wait!

You probably need a type 1 pump. The pump tees into your existing hydraulic steering lines how many tee fittings you need will depend on the type of system you have; 2 line, 3 line, pressurized, etc. There will be plumbing diagrams for each steering type included with the pump installation manual. Keep the pump and computer close to each other.

Welcome aboard. Sounds like a great trip to look forward to!

Welcome Aboard!

Welcome to the 2 dimensional world then again waves make it 2 1/2 dimensional world.

2 yrs storage...... you may have bigger issues to tackle first before you venture on a long trip at sea.

be careful and prepared, have a good trip.

My boat has very low hours and I'm aware that I might have to put some work back into it . It was winterized and shrink wrapped. I have a spare parts kits and tools on the boat and will probably do a shake down cruze. Thanks

Welcome aboard!

Welcome aboard,
Sounds like she'll need a good once or twice over to prepare for the journey.
Good luck and calm seas.
