Hydraulic Rams

• High power, efficient drive units for maximum power with minimum consumption
• Ram drives allow the Power Steer mode on the Pilot to be used in cases of manual steering failure
• Fully Integrated (T0, T1 and T2 units) hydraulic system, no external hoses, reservoirs etc
• T3 drives have a separate hydraulic pump to allow for greater mounting flexibility on this larger cylinder
• Type 4 systems utilise a constant running hydraulic pump and two steering cylinders for the best compromise of performance, reliability and efficiency on larger vessels. (For a detailed drawing of the Type 4 Ram System please contact B&G)
• Yacht size range up to approximately. 100ft (30m).

- Always remember to use the fully laden displacement of your boat when selecting a pilot.

- Typically a yacht fully provisioned with the water and fuel tanks full, can be as much as 20% above the designed displacement.

- If your boat falls between two pilot types, choose the larger pilot type - an under rated pilot may not be able to perform adequately when you need it most.

- If in doubt, please check with an authorised B&G Dealer.

- If you are using a Ram, Rotary drive or existing drive unit from another manufacturer, these will, in most cases, be compatible with B&G units. To check this however, please call your local B&G Dealer or call us directly.

A wide range of self-contained hydraulic drive systems to suit yachts with either cable or rod steering systems.
