The Ultimate in Steering Comfort
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.
SeaStar Power Assist

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 wheeleven 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.
SeaStar Power Assist Autopilot
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
SeaStar AutoPilot Pump
INTRODUCTION
The SeaStar Autopilot pump is a fixed flow, reversible type 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). It can be used as a stand alone pilot pump or can be mounted
to a previously installed SeaStar Power Assist unit and can prevent the need to
break into the hydraulic lines.
