Need a solution for a upcoming voyage
#3
I am not sure which ram you are using, but unless it is hydraulic it is unlikely to draw 25 amps. Most hydraulic draw a lot less than this as well. I am building a hydraulic controller which can supply 20 amps continuous (60 amp surge), next version 30 amps.

Typically tillerpilot draws between 1-2 amps while moving the rudder. You can also drive relays with the motor controller to handle much higher power but you won't get speed control and soft starts.
