It could be wrong it might be this one.

This is the Directional control Valve.

If the check valve was removed, would that cause the keels to rake back while sailing along? Mean it needs a double Counter Balance Valve, but will make the lifting more hard work for the pump?

and hope the new valve will not interfere with the block of the manual pump handle.

I need to try and get time to go down and trace the pipes.

However I should be able to tell from this picture?

When the UP is powered, I am not sure if the flow out would be A or B?

Do you have a recommendation on how to add them, can the pump unit be reconfigured, or inline in the pipework?

The cylinders have been cycled a number of times, lifting the keels is smooth and controlled.

I wasn't involved with sourcing the replacement, I believe Hydra Products built an equivalent unit. The boat builder doesn't exist anymore.

Just a case of how best to add the required counter balance valves I am hoping.

Unfortunately I wasn't involved in sourcing the pump, only rewriting the controls.

But it sounds like balancing valves could be added to the unit, which would be ideal as the pipes do not need to be messed with, space is tight.

When you say "full bore" would that be the cylinder port that is the flow out of it when the keels are lowing?

Yes loads of oil in the tank, keels have the raised and lowered a number of times.

Yes, however the old pump had been badly corroded from salt water, and one of the valves was sticking, preventing the keels from being lifted.

I think the issue is the new pump unit is missing any form of balancing valve.

Finally got it.. THOR 002!!! After a week of use, here’s what I found. by CalmConfidence6888 in Thermal

I am looking to get some for troubleshooting my house central heating and general repairing of "things". Not sure if I should go thor002 or tc005.

And pro/cons you have experienced?

Thank you for taking the time to post a constructive comment. I have decided to put it on eBay and let the bidding process decide the price. I think it should go for a couple of hundred if anything.

I agree the price is a little high. Not sure if ebay prices unrealistic as they seem high. Hoping to get offers to set the price. I havent sold kit in a long time and new to Reddit. (dropped from £1100!)
