THE ULTIMATE IN STEERING COMFORT…

INTRODUCTION
The Marine Industry is continually introducing heavier outboard engines, higher horse power engines, more aggressive propellers, bigger/faster boats.  Boat operators are asking for increased comfort and lighter steering loads.  These were the driving forces behind the design of SeaStar and SeaStar PRO Power Assist.

This new and innovative product is highly recommended on any 200HP and above outboard application to give your boat the same, easy steering you are accustomed to in your car. Power Assist is also recommended for the following:
• Twin and Triple engine applications
• Bass Boats
• Power Catamarans
• Inboard powered cruisers without engine driven power assist.

Part # PA1200-2, PA1225-2 and PA1315-2 (PRO Series)

Applications
• 150HP+ single outboards.
• Heavy 4 stroke outboards.
• Twin/Triple outboards.
• Inboards where rudder torque makes wheel effort heavy or uncomfortable.

Features
• Dramatically increases steering comfort.
• Reduced wheel effort.
• Easy installation.
• Simple ‘add-on’ to existing SeaStar manual system (up to 2.0cu. in. helms).
• Number of turns lock to lock remains the same.
• Compatible with SeaStar Power Purge system.
• Compatible with autopilots.
• Wiring harness included.
• Ignition protected (SAE J-1171).
• Auto recognize system voltage (12V or 24V).
• ABYC, CE, NMMA, ISO 10592 Approved.
• Capable of floor or wall mount. No need to purchase extra kits.

HOW IT WORKS

SeaStar P/A (Power Assist) steering uses an electronically controlled hydraulic pump to provide “Power” for your SeaStar Hydraulic Steering system.

The SeaStar P/A system is comprised of two circuits: a hand operated manual system, which is the control element, and a
hydraulic power pump, which is the working element.

The manual system consists of a helm pump with internal relief and check valves, as well as a built in reservoir. Two steering lines and a compensating line which provide a routing for fluid to transmit through the system, and a steering cylinder which moves the steering device on the boat from side to side.

The power system, is an electronically controlled hydraulic pump that boosts the fluid being sent from the helm pump to the steering cylinder (this will result in much easier effort at the wheel—even when under heavy loads). A compensating line connects the P/A unit to the helm pump, allowing the P/A unit to share fluid with the helm reservoir.

The SeaStar P/A is compatible with multiple steering stations, and with the use of an autopilot. In the event of a P/A power loss or failure the hydraulic system will automatically revert to a manual hydraulic system.
 

 

 

INTRODUCTION
Converts manual hydraulic steering for dramatic reduction in steering wheel torque and at the same time provides a pump for an autopilot installation.

The SeaStar Power Assist Autopilot pump is the standard power assist product with the addition of a Type 1 or Type 2 autopilot pump. The SeaStar Autopilot pump is a fixed flow, reversible pump set that uses an internal hydraulic gear pump, producing very little vibration or noise. It is offered in 12 and 24 volt configurations, as well as two different pump sizes (type 1 & type 2).

Part # PA6010, PA6020, PA7010 and PA7020

Features
• Autopilot ready – a single installation (i.e. no need to break into system for install of pump).
• Converts manual hydraulic steering to power steering.
• Dramatic reduction in steering wheel torque.
• Easy installation.
• OEM or Retrofit.
• Simple add on to an existing SeaStar manual system (from 1.4 – 2.4 SeaStar helm pumps)
• Compatible with power purge system.
• Ignition protected (SAE J-1171).
• ABYC, CE, NMMA, ISO 10592 Approved.
• Replaces other 12 & 24 volt systems

INTRODUCTION
The EASY way to 100% purge air out of BayStar and SeaStar hydraulic steering systems.
The Power Purge Jr. reduces installation and warranty costs while enhancing the quality of the
boat to the end user. A typical manual fill and purge takes the average experienced installer or service
technician about 30 minutes per boat — by using the Power Purge Jr. this can be reduced to 10
minutes or less.

Features
• Steering feel is solid every time.
• 100% portable.
• Powered by 12v battery.
• Fast and efficient set up.
• Quick connect fittings.
• Easy to operate
• Filter screens help keep contamination out of your steering system
• Complete Fill & Purge in 10 minutes or less
• Optional Dual Cylinder Purging Kit HA5461 available
