Basic System Components:
1. The Helm Unit (Pump) - The SeaStar helm pump is an axial piston pump specifically designed for manual steering. It has a built-in lock valve to prevent the steering load from feeding back to the driver. The lock valve will not allow the rudder or drive unit to move until you move it with the steering wheel. The lock valve section of the helm also includes a relief valve. This relief valve provides over-pressure protection for mechanical components and hydraulic hoses and fittings.
2. The Cylinder - The most important differences between the variety of SeaStar steering systems available is the cylinder selection. The SeaStar system has a cylinder for most steering applications.
3. Hoses and Tubes - Required to provide a path for the fluid to flow under pressure from the helm pump to the cylinder.
Bullhorn Ram Cylinder:
Kits includes the Seastar front mount (bullhorn) hydraulic Cylinder and has been specifically designed and manufactured to increase feel and control of high performance outboard powered vessels that have a high level of wear and tear and are used frequently.
Key features include, heavier duty pivot plate bushes that reduce wear in harsh conditions and longer cylinder rod bushes which create a better seal on the end gland. The cylinder is more rigid due to the addition of the key ways on the support rod and support brackets.
**Please note steering wheel not included.
** Please also our #802516 spacer kit may be required for cylinder mount on various brands and models but not common.
** On some applications the ram cylinder pivot plate may need to be flipped to eliminate binding.
