Raw water intake
Also I have one engine down right now and it has the power steering pump on it so I have zero steering. Wheel just spins. Reading this forum I see hynautic steering talked about but I don't know if thats what I have since I have a ps pump on the engine.
Any ideas would be great. I can't get to the boat until spring but need to this worked out in my head. And parts ordered.

Re: Raw water intake
The intake that leads to a pump could be a raw water washdown. The other could be for the head/toilet. Other possibilities if applicable would be generator intake, air conditioning intake, and overboard discharge.
Is this an inboard or does it have sterndrives?

Re: Raw water intake
The boat has 2 V6 Mercruiser sterndrives. I have read about people having to be towed in if they loose the engine with the ps pump. I am thinking (and hoping) thats the problem but after looking at the forum I am not sure.
I hope someone knows for sure.

Re: Raw water intake
When you turn the wheel, that cable should move in and out. If it doesn't, your next step is to find out if the fault is the helm or the cable.
