| Hydraulic lock valve |
| The hydraulic pump in the pedestal is not equipped with a
lock valve (non-return valve). The consequence is that the rudder
pressure can be felt on the steering wheel, and when the helmsman
loosens the wheel, the wheel will rotate back to the mid position. When
this feature isn't appreciated, one should us a lock valve to prevent
oil to flow back to the pump.
When the hydraulic system is equipped with a second pump (for inside steering) or a hydraulic autopilot drive one should always us a lock valve between the pedestal and the rest of the hydraulic system. This will force the oil to the cylinder and prevent it to take the easy route to the pump and cause the wheel to rotate. |
