SPX-10 Hydraulic Installation Guide for Verado systems
Overview
This guide describes how to install the components in the Verado Hydraulic Spares
Kit, Part Number A18127, along with a Raymarine Type 1 hydraulic pump, to enable
a Raymarine SmartPilot X-10 (SPX-10) system, to steer a boat with a single or twin
Mercury Verado engine system.
Use this book in conjunction with the appropriate SPX system Installation and
Commissioning Guides.
Parts
Supplied
Required
In addtion to the Verado Hydraulic Spares Kit, you need a Raymarine Type 1 Pump,
Part Number M81120.
Tools required
• 3/4” spanner
• Power Steering Primer Module, Mercury part number 91-895040K01. Required
only if you cannot start the engine (e.g. if the boat is out of the water).
Mounting the Type 1 Pump
The Type 1 pump must be mounted:
• Within 3’ 3” (1 m) of the helm
• On a structural member, to avoid vibration that could damage the hydraulic pipes
Referring to the following illustration, mount the Type 1 pump and secure it using 1/4”
(M6) stainless steel bolts, nuts and lock washers, or self tapping screws and lock
washers.
A drilling template is provided near the end of this book.

Connecting the hydraulic lines
Before you start
Before you start installing the hydraulic lines, read this information, to gain an overall
understanding of the system and prevent any problems due to incorrect hydraulic
connections.
Summary of hydraulic connections
.
Important
It is important to ensure that you correctly differentiate between the low
pressure return hose connected to ‘T’ and the high pressure connections
connected to R’ and ‘L’, at the rear of the Mercury helm.
Do NOT disconnect or modify the high pressure hose from ‘P’ on the Mercury
helm to the Mercury hydraulic pump (lower hose).
Do NOT connect the high pressure connector R, on the Mercury helm to the
Raymarine Type 1 pump low pressure connector, also identified as R.

Procedure
Referring to the hydraulic circuit on the following page, modify the Mercury hydraulic
system by installing the Raymarine hydraulic components, as follows:
1. Install the barbed hose fitting (with sealing washer) to port ‘R’ on the Type 1 pump.
2. Fit the 3’ (915 mm) return line low pressure hose over the barbed hose fitting and
secure using the supplied hose clamp.
3. Attach the two 3’ (915 mm) high pressure hoses (with sealing washers) to ports ‘A’
and ’B’ on the Type 1 pump.
4. Attach the UNF Tee fittings (visually inspect the fittings to ensure that the face ‘O’
rings are in place).
5. Attach the 1’ (315 mm) high pressure hoses to the Tee fittings.
6. Attach the barbed Tee fitting to the hose from the Type 1 pump and secure using
the supplied hose clamp.
7. Locate the ‘T’ port Mercury return hose at the back of the Verado helm (leads to
the reservoir on the hydraulic pump module). Identify a suitable location along its
length to install the barbed Tee fitting.
WARNING: Hydraulic fluid
Do not allow hydraulic fluid to come into prolonged contact with your skin.
Thoroughly wash any affected areas. Wear protective nitrile gloves when
working with hydraulic fluid.
8. Cut the return hose, install the barbed Tee fitting and secure using the supplied
hose clamps.
Notes: (1) Hoses cut or removed from the helm should be held upright until reconnected.
(2) Do not allow hydraulic fluid to drain out of the hoses.
(3) Check and top-up the hydraulic pump reservoir as necessary during installation.
Locate and tag the ‘L’ and ‘R’ Mercury installed hoses at the back of the Verado
helm.
9. Remove the Mercury ‘L’ hose and attach to the Tee fitting on the hose from ‘A’ on
the Type 1 pump.
10. Connect the 1’ (315 mm) high pressure hose from the Tee fitting to ‘L’ on the back
of the Verado helm.
11. Remove the Mercury ‘R’ hose and attach to the Tee fitting on the hose from ‘B’ on
the Type 1 pump.
12. Connect the 1’ (315 mm) high pressure hose from the Tee fitting to ‘R’ on the back
of the Verado helm.
13. Check all connections, fittings and clamps are tight.
14. Carry out the Initiating the system procedure (below).

Initiating the system
WARNING: Carry out initiation procedures before use
Do not use the steering system to steer the boat until the following
initiation procedures have been completed.
Before the steering system is used to steer the boat, you must:
• Bleed the system.
• Check the system for leaks.
• Commission the system.

Bleeding the system
Connecting the pump and hoses will introduce air into the steering system, making it
feel ‘spongy’ and ‘lumpy’ to operate. You therefore need to bleed the hydraulic system
to restore it to full effectiveness.
In order to bleed the hydraulic system, the Mercury hydraulic pump needs to be
running. This will happen automatically when the outboard engine starts.
If you need to run the pump without starting the engine, (e.g. if the boat is out of the
water), use the Mercury ‘Power Steering Primer Module’ service tool, in accordance
with the manufacturers instructions.
The following procedure assumes you are able to start the boat engine.To bleed the
steering system:
1. Remove the reservoir cover, filler cap and filter.
2. Start the engine. If the fluid level in the reservoir level falls below 50%:
i. Stop the engine and refill with Mercury hydraulic oil part No. 92-858002K01.
ii. Restart the engine.
3. Slowly turn the helm to Starboard.If the fluid level in the reservoir level falls below
50%:
i. Stop the engine and refill with Mercury hydraulic oil part No. 92-858002K01.
ii. Restart the engine.
4. Slowly turn the helm to Port.If the fluid level in the reservoir level falls below 50%:
i. Stop the engine and refill with Mercury hydraulic oil part No. 92-858002K01.
ii. Restart the engine.
5. Repeat the lock to lock turn ten times, refilling the reservoir as necessary.
6. Replace the reservoir filter, filler cap and cover.
Checking for leaks
When the bleeding procedure has been successfully completed, ensure all hydraulic
joints are secure then check the system for leaks as follows:
1. Turn the wheel hard to port.
2. With the port lines at maximum pressure, check the port lines for leaks, paying
particular attention to the joints.
3. Turn the wheel hard to starboard.
4. With the starboard lines at maximum pressure, check the starboard lines for
leaks, paying particular attention to the joints.
Commissioning
Carry out the commissioning procedure for the SPX-10 system, in accordance with
the appropriate Commissioning Guide.
