Is there a clutch or bypass solinoid driver ?
Most electro mechanical below deck drives have a clutch.
These seem to require 2-5ADC.
Hydraulic rams on cable steered boats usually have a normally open bypass solinoid.
Some autopilots drive the solinoid with DC for a short time to close it, then change to a pulsed output to save power.
