40 ® HYDRAULIC systems * Superior feel * Ideal for higher torque applications * Reduces driver fatigue * Flexible number of turns lock-to-lock As specialists in the art of steering, SeaStar Solutions takes the recommendation of steering systems very seriously especially as modern outboard engines become more powerful. Unlike other steering manufacturers we prefer to make systems recommendations based on “optimum comfort” and safety. MECHANICAL RACK More efficient than Mechanical Rotary steering, Rack helms require more mounting space side to side behind dash. BAYSTAR The latest edition to the SeaStar family featuring the same trademark “pivot” design seen in the world renowned SeaStar outboard cylinder. SEASTAR The most popular hydraulic cylinder in the world, featuring a unique “pivot” design that ensures optimum efficiency in all applications (SINGLE or MULTIPLE) engine. SEASTAR PRO Featuring the patented design SeaStar Pro helm, for use with high torque SINGLE outboard applications such as high performance bass boats. SEASTAR POWER ASSIST Designed for use with SeaStar hydraulic cylinders, dramatically reducing steering effort in heavy/high torque applications. The Pro version is specifically designed for high torque SINGLE outboard applications such as high performance bass boats. MECHANICAL ROTARY Compact housing allows installation where behind dash space is limited. MECHANICAL systems * Affordable * Simple installation * Fixed number of turns lock-to-lock step 1 step 2 step 3 which outboard steer ing system? RACK - NO FEED BACK For more comfort and control, NFB steering locks out load created by propeller torque. NFB is recommended as replacement steering for all non-power assisted outboards. Replacement for original helm as specified by the boat manufacturer. ROTARY - NO FEED BACK For more comfort and control, NFB steering locks out load created by propeller torque. NFB is recommended as replacement steering for all non-power assisted outboards. Replacement for original helm as specified by the boat manufacturer. HH5271-3 HH4314-3 NOTE: Some high performance boats/engine combina- tions develop instability at high speed. Instability becomes more prevalent in boats faster than 50 MPH. Dual-cable steering or SeaStar PRO systems are recommended by SeaStar Solutions and engine manufacturers for these boats. IMPORTANT: No FeedBack Steering MUST NOT be used in dual station, power-assisted, or autopilot installations! (Mechanical Systems Only) Please use these guides to assist in making your selection, but remember that the recommendations are general in nature. Any boat/steering system combination should be water-tested by the installer to ensure safe and dependable steering. Displacement hulls do react differently than plan- ing hulls. As a result, the type of hull on the boat, as well as the horsepower, may affect steering system selection. If in doubt, please contact SeaStar Solutions Technical Service for assistance.
