The B&G RAM-T2 12V Hydraulic Autopilot Ram is a fully integrated hydraulic drive unit engineered for vessels requiring serious steering power. Packed with a motor, pump, cylinder, clutch and sealed reservoir, it handles heavy loads while eliminating need for external hoses. In addition to autopilot operation, it supports Power Steer mode, giving backup steering if manual control fails.
