Abstract
A hydraulic system for a marine propulsion system comprises an actuator adapted for moving at least a portion of the propulsion system between a first position and a second position. A first pump is selectively communicating with the actuator by a first fluid line. The first pump supplies hydraulic fluid via the first fluid line to the actuator for moving the at least portion of the propulsion system towards the first position. A second pump selectively fluidly communicates with the actuator by a second fluid line. The second pump supplies hydraulic fluid via the second fluid line to the actuator for moving the at least portion of the propulsion system towards the second position. An electronic control unit (ECU) electrically connected to the first pump and to the second pump for controlling the operation of the first pump and the second pump.
