Did you access the pump from in front of the engine or from port or starboard side of the engine. Also, were there any tabs or clips that had to be pushed or so before twisting the cartridge counterclockwise.

How was the best access, port ,starboard or directly in front of the engine ?

I have a 2001. 2052 and the pump is not visible. Maybe try a mirror to see it or fiber optic camera. I decided that I would just add another one if a problem occurs.

The controlling factor for the ease of installation is if there is enough room to "piggyback' the new hydraulic cylinder onto the existing I/O steering cylinder

Contacts in the relay are burnt. Relay is under rated. I will pick it up if Cannon won't replace

Ok, thank you

Would be glad to take all the "donor"boards off your hands to experiment with if you are in the Mexico bay area. I am on Sandy Pond and get up to Watertown regularly.

I have replaced about 6 of those boards for friends and myself. Some only 2 years old. Tried to remove the relay on one but that was a mess, ruined the trace on the board. Next time I am going to cut the top off the relay, rip out the contents, solder wires to the terminals of the relay internally, put the wires on a relay socket. Than a 30 amp relay in the socket and it will be easily replaceable. I may need some bad boards so please save yours for future use.

In addition, I don't know why Cannon doesn't wise up and put 30 Or higher amp relays in there. 10 amp or so relays are destined to fail. The inrush current when that motor initially starts is typically 3 or 4 times that. Cannon needs to re evaluate their engineering staff.

You have described it well. Relay clicks but nothing happens. Been there done that many times. Change the short stop board. Relay contacts are burned. Don't waste anymore time on trying other solutions. Can't easily change the relay on the board. It is epoxied in over the solder joints. Boards are available from Cannon and some other places.

Just trying to understand what you are saying. Do you have a hydraulic steering cylinder in the steering tube on the Yamaha and the hydraulic pump is switched to the kicker with valving?

You can find a wiring diagram online

I think it goes from 600 to 1000 rpm in 50 rpm increments. This is on my Sea Nymph GLS175. I have a Motor guide XI5 for autopilot. I believe when I have the XI5 in use and set at about 40% power for steering it actually slows the boat down a bit. It will go down to 1.5mph with Xi5 in use and maybe 1.8 without XI5.
