Description
Hydraulic Integration and Flow Management Analysis
Inconsistent rudder feedback often disrupts autopilot precision during manual steering transitions on Verado engines. The Simrad Verado Fitting Kit with SteadySteer integrates a specialized flow switch. This configuration manages high-pressure hydraulic fluid displacement during maneuvers.
The system utilizes the SimNet protocol to communicate manual override status to the autopilot computer. SteadySteer technology allows immediate manual control without disengaging the primary autopilot system. High-grade brass components ensure durability against internal hydraulic fluid oxidation.
Strategic Vessel Application
Required for Mercury Verado outboard installations using MK2 pumps to enable manual steering override functionality.
Technical Key Features
- SteadySteer switch supports manual override activation
- ORFS fittings prevent hydraulic fluid weeping leaks
- Hoses rated for 3000 PSI internal pressure
- Corrosion resistant brass alloy manifold construction
- SimNet protocol enables real time switch telemetry
- Standardized T-connectors support MK2 pump manifolds
- Industrial grade seals maintain high pressure integrity

Simrad Verado Fitting Kit w/SteadySteer Technical Guide
SteadySteer allows the helmsman to take manual control of the vessel without manually disengaging the autopilot on the screen. By detecting hydraulic fluid flow when the wheel is turned, it puts the autopilot into standby mode instantly. Steering control resumes once the vessel reaches a new steady heading.
Yes, this kit is specifically designed to handle the high-pressure demands of Mercury Verado integrated power steering systems. It includes the necessary ORB adapters and high-pressure hoses required for MK2 pump integration. Check your Verado generation to ensure the fitting threads match the cylinder ports.
This kit is engineered exclusively for Simrad MK2 pumps and uses specific thread patterns that are incompatible with older MK1 hardware. Attempting to adapt these fittings to MK1 pumps may lead to high-pressure leaks and system failure. Always verify the pump model number on the manufacturer label before installation.
Use only Mercury-approved power steering fluid or high-quality ISO 15 mineral-based hydraulic oil as specified by the vessel manufacturer. Incompatible fluids can cause the SteadySteer sensor seals to degrade and lead to erratic autopilot behavior. Ensure the system is bled using a vacuum bleeder for best results.
The SteadySteer sensor must be installed in the hydraulic line between the helm pump and the autopilot pump. This position ensures it can detect any manual fluid displacement initiated by the pilot at the steering wheel. Mount it in a protected area to prevent physical damage or corrosion.
