We have a 43 foot sailboat with cable steering. A Kobelt 7040 B12 hydraulic ram drives the rudder when the autopilot is engaged. The existing motor and hydraulic pump from the prior autopilot is a 1/4 hp 12vdc reversible motor v-belted to a pump. It operated well at variable speeds depending on required course correction. The HOH time is 7.5 seconds (at full output when the "dodge" button was pushed). Maximum motor current draw is about 22 amps.
My question is whether the 711C can operate this motor and pump system on a variable speed basis depending on course correction required?
