It is working with only one on the positive lead side. I will continue to monitor and see how it works in the long run.

I was merely making the point that there are two diodes in the circuit, not one so you need two diodes to build this.

Whether you use both of the diodes in the package is immaterial, providing the combined current rating is sufficient for your hydraulic pump. However, it is good design practise to use both of them connected in parallel as it will improve reliability as each diode will only carry half the current.
