22275072 Pump Piston | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

The strength required to steer a boat with a hydraulic steering system is inversely proportional to the number of turns of the wheel lock-to-lock. Wheel turns are determined by the ratio between the cylinder volume, the pump displacement and the free movement of the steering device. A large cylinder volume with a small pump displacement gives more wheel turns; a small cylinder volume with a large pump displacement gives fewer. Fewer wheel turns means quicker steering response but more effort; more wheel turns means slower response but less effort. The helm pumps are available in three displacement sizes - 28 cc, 33 cc and 39 cc - each in three mountings: front mount, rear mount and tilt mount. This is the 39 cc front mount pump, with 7 pistons, a 70 bar relief valve setting and a maximum wheel diameter of 711 mm.

🔌 Function

Converts steering wheel rotation into pressurised hydraulic oil flow to the steering cylinder.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Heavy, notchy or inconsistent steering
• Wheel turning without the drive following, from internal bypass
• Hydraulic oil weeping at the shaft seal or the port fittings
• Air drawn into the circuit giving a spongy helm

🛠️ Service Notes

• The 39 cc rear mount pump is 22275075 and the 39 cc tilt mount is 22275078, so confirm the mounting as well as the displacement
• A larger pump displacement against the same cylinder means fewer wheel turns and heavier steering, so do not substitute displacements to solve a stiff helm
• Bleed the circuit fully after fitting and check the level with the steering held hard over each way
• Displacement and mounting together are the product: the same 39 cc displacement is also listed as 22275075 and 22275078, and the other front mount pumps are 22275070 and 22275071
• Tilt mount pumps are rated to a 508 mm wheel against 711 mm for the front and rear mount pumps
• Cylinder volume and pump displacement together set how many turns the wheel takes lock to lock
