Raymarine Verado Hydraulic Hose Kit, For SmartPilot Autopilot

Overview

The Raymarine A18127 is a Verado hydraulic hose kit for installing a Raymarine SmartPilot autopilot on Mercury Verado engines. It is used with a Raymarine Type 1 hydraulic pump and suits single or twin Mercury Verado engine steering systems.

This is a system-specific hydraulic installation part, not a generic steering accessory. It is meant for Verado autopilot plumbing where the pump has to be tied into the engine steering circuit cleanly, with hose routing that works in a real helm or rigging compartment.

Key features

• Made for Mercury Verado engine steering systems when adding a Raymarine SmartPilot autopilot
• Used with a Raymarine Type 1 hydraulic pump as part of the Verado hydraulic installation
• Suitable for single or twin Mercury Verado engine setups
• Lets the autopilot pump be integrated into the existing Verado hydraulic steering circuit
• Installation includes hydraulic bleeding after the pump and hoses are connected

Installation and setup

This kit belongs in the hydraulic side of the autopilot job, so hose routing and pump location matter as much as the electronics. The supplied hose reach affects where the pump can be mounted, and boats with tighter helm spaces or longer runs need that layout checked before drilling, mounting, and plumbing the system.

Once the hoses and pump are connected, the steering system needs to be bled to remove air from the circuit. That step is important for getting the helm back to a normal feel and for avoiding the soft, uneven response that air in the lines can cause.

Compatibility and fit

This kit is for Mercury Verado applications. It is a good match for owners rigging a Raymarine hydraulic autopilot on a Verado-powered outboard boat, especially where the steering layout has to be kept clean and serviceable around the helm, pump, and existing hydraulic lines.

Before ordering, confirm that your boat is using a Mercury Verado steering system and that the autopilot build includes the correct Raymarine Type 1 hydraulic pump. That check matters more than overall boat length because this part is about steering architecture and hydraulic integration, not general mounting hardware.
