New ultra low power corrosion resistant reversing pump
We are very pleased to introduce the new PR+08, 0.8 L/min reversing pump to the Hy-ProDrive range. This high performance, ultra quiet, gear pump boasts a 12V 50W motor and is suitable for smaller steering cylinders and stern drive applications. Suitable for cylinders of 75 cc to 250 cc the new pump is ideal for the smaller craft, where power consumption and noise is an issue. The unit draws only 1.3 amps at 25% duty and a maximum of 14 amps at full power, producing pressures of between 5 and 55 bar.
Like all the pumps in the Hy-ProDrive range, the PR+08 is IP67 rated and corrosion protected for marine environments, where water ingress and corrosion from salt is a very real risk. The IP67 standard means that the pump can be submersed in 1 metre of water for 30 mins and still be in working order. All Hy-ProDrive units also come with Ignition protection to BS EN 28846:1993 and EMC certification to BS EN 60945:2002 (DC) in line with the Small Craft Directive. The PR family are also all supplied with zero leakage check valves and we offer top ported and relief valve options.
The Hy-ProDrive pumps have been designed for long life but, on the very rare chance you need to change a motor in the mid-Atlantic, all you need is a 4mm Allen key and it can be done in 2 minutes....without any oil loss or air getting into the steering system.
Smooth, quiet operation, so desirable on sailing yachts and sports fishing boats, is achieved by the use of precision-made gears, manufactured in house, in the UK under tight quality control.
