You may be able to do it using a pair of DCV's (Directional Control Valves) to switch between the two rams but two trim pumps would be alot better and there not that expensive. Plus you wouldn't be able to trim and jack at the same time.

we have 4 pumps at the moment(not yet fitted), but is we could use 2 pumps and put valves in them, then we will have lost the weight of 2 hyd pumps!
i have been looking google at a hydraulic solanoid valve, would these work?just have a T peice on each of the inlet/outlets on the pump and have 4 of these valves....? would this work?
what is the psi of the pumps?

wouldt it be easier to mount the pumps on the deck uprights and run the hoses down the portside

What type of valves are you talking about. You would need valve's that can take a feed and send it in one direction or the other. Then you would need to switch a pair of them at the same time so the pump is connected to either the jack or the trim. I've no idea what pressure they opperate at. You could have a look at the hoses as it may say the max working pressure on them, then use that figure to spec your valves.

As your trim and jack ram's arent balanced you may have a situation where the pump reservoir isn't big enough (as its only designed to accomodate one un-balanced ram) and could therefore either run dry or overflow.

Personally I'd use the pumps as the manufacturer(s) intended.

Bennett tabs and rams have 1 pump for 2 rams.
Bennett tabs also have single acting cylinders ,meaning there is only oil being pushed into the cylinder not drawn out, Burty had 4 rams on 1 pump so when his tabs were boath up then wouldent the oil over flow, as its twice the amount of oil going into the reservior as it had been designed have???
so i think we could get away with it because they are double acting cylinders so most of the oil returns, there isnt as much of a volume difference from the top of the stroke to the bottem as there would be on a single acting cylinder?

Burty's original ST16 tabs came from Bennet with 4 rams and one pump so the reservior was designed to accomodate 4 rams.

Nope, Bennett Sports Tabs have 4 rams, and use exactly the same pump as the 2 ram models!

I'm almost sure it won't work as you wont have a large enough reservoir those trim rams take alot of fluid

TD, Jon what a great idea why dont you both convert your pump so one pump works both engines / drives cus it would save weight.
So what if you can only trim one motor at a time it'll be ok

Yuo could trim and jack at the same time using the t piece arangment but it would be rather slow and I guess the pump may not be able to supply the required volume and pressure for both rams at the same time so it may not work at all.
