System Components
SeaStar hydraulic steering systems are simple and efficient. The basic system consists of three main components:

1. The Helm Unit
The 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

Pro Hydraulic Cylinder:

Kits now include the Seastar Pro 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 of the Pro Cylinder 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. The patented ‘pivot’ mount design, utilised on the Pro Cylinder, guarantees continuous smooth, comfortable steering, and maximum effi

Pro Series Bull Horn mount cylinder and helm as the 300hp Seastar kit # 291600 but has a smaller displacement helm pump for a lower lock to lock ratio. 5.5 turns as opposed to 4.9 turns.
