Garmin autopilot check valves

[bchristie]

2013 Cutwater 28: Can anyone provide a detailed instruction on how to install the Garmin "check valve kit" into the steering system? I have the five port manifold on the 1.2L autopilot pump. Also this is a two steering station configuration; forward and aft helm positions. Thanks for any help with this project.

Nice work! Thank you for sharing. How is your steering now after the check valve installation?

Much better, no more slippage when turning the wheel. Wheel stops when rudder is fully turned.
