Yes, I plan to put the pump where you did inside the starboard tackle box in the cockpit. On mine, it appears to be about 8’ from the helm but I can easily make that a longer run (just buy 2 20’ sections for example). I can shorten the hose to the shadow drive to be behind the gauges (great point about access). The orb tee was only if I decided to tee into the pump (which is the 1.7 versus G2 like you). I’m going to tee in the line so the other tees is what I will use. The he 90 off the helm was suggested by Seastar. I realize that it might be a challenge to get it going the same direction as the two existing 90’s but I’ll have to figure out something else if need be. Otherwise, any other thoughts?Are you putting the pump in the same place as me? I think your distances are different.
The Shadow at 4 ft will put it in a place hard to reach. Mine is 2 ft from helm right where you can get at it with the gauge panel off. I think they want it close to the helm too.
Not sure the split ...8 ft from helm /16ft from cylinder... gets you to where I put mine. 8 seems short, 16 seems long from what I remember.
You have the old helm with 1/4NPT elbows? thats going to be a pain to get them lined up when tight.
You list 3/8 to 5 ORB TEE where is that going? I used 3/8 tube Tee. Parker fittings connect to 3/8 tube thread (9/16-24)
You have a V2 pump? Look at my post https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/autopilot-garmin-reactor-40-with-smartpump-info.35507/
The V2 that I got has ORB fittings with straight 1/4NPT adapters You can replace them with ORB elbows or go straight in. They also have ports on top and on side...you can move the plugs and fittings to use top or side.
Thanks so much!!
