⚙️ Key Features

• Servo unit from the Ignition and Control Systems group
• 19.42 kg
• Listed for 31 applications across D series engines and IPS pod drives
• Supersedes 22548738
• Heavy enough to need support during removal and fitting

🔌 Function

Provides the powered assistance that turns a helm command into movement at the drive, doing the physical work the operator's input only signals for.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Steering or control heavy, slow or notchy at the helm
• Response lagging behind the wheel or lever, or wandering off course
• Groaning or whining from the unit when it works
• Fluid weeping from the unit or its connections, with the reservoir dropping
• Fault codes logged against the steering or control circuit

🛠️ Service Notes

• Check the fluid level, the feed hoses and the electrical connectors before condemning a unit this size - low fluid or a poor connection mimics a failed servo
• Bleed the system thoroughly and check helm-to-drive alignment after fitting
• Arrange support or a hoist before removal - at nearly 20 kg it is not a one-hand lift in a confined engine space
