Page 168 poweR puRge SyStemS: The Power Purge and Power Purge, Jr. are the quickest ways to bleed a SeaStar or BayStar system and assure a ® ® rock-solid steering feel every time! Power Purge systems reduce installation and warranty costs while enhancing the quality of the boat for the end user.
Page 169 Rack (older) model (1984-2001). If the rack housing is green, it may be a TR188 model (1975-86). This is a SeaStar Solutions system, but the helm will not bolt up to the new SSC134 cable. Replace the helm and bezel kit with 1996-date "The Rack" versions.
Page 170 SeaStar Solutions. i want to install a SeaStar Solutions system, but how do i know which one i should get? Generally, replace rotary with rotary, rack &...
Page 171 How do i measure steering cables for a vessel with two steering stations? The only cable steering system available for dual station boats is the SeaStar Solutions Big-T. One cable with two outer jacket (casing) sections is used to make the run from the engine/rudder to the lower station helm and then to the upper station helm.
Page 172 If the cable for your helm is no longer available, replace the helm, bezel and cable with an appropriate SeaStar Solutions steering kit. If any cable connection part is deteriorated, too stiff or too loose, replace it with the correct type of component.
Page 173 fReQuently aSked QueStionS i've heard steering cables should be “maintained”. How exactly is this done? We suggest the following periodic maintenance at least twice a season: 1. Be certain the helm(s), cable(s), steering wheel and connection hardware are correctly assembled and in proper working order.
Page 174 Contact the steering maker for options. Tilt steering is not available for all systems. If you have SeaStar Solutions rotary steering that was made after 1991 or rack steering made after 1996, you probably only need to purchase a Tilt helm and Tilt mechanism.
Page 175: Mechanical
Do not use a wire coil type trim switch with hydraulic steering. Wire coil can wind up tight around the steering wheel shaft and prevent further steering! SeaStar Solutions offers fingertip control with Pro Trim, a column-mounted switch, without the problem of wires wrapping around the steering column. Pro Trim PT1000P controls trim or jackplate only.
Page 176 POSSIBLE LOSS OF STEERING, CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR DEATH. Due to recent upgrades in our steering system components, SeaStar Solutions recommends use of SeaStar Steering Fluid ONLY in our hydraulic steering systems. SeaStar Steering Systems have been engineered and validated using our proprietary SeaStar Hydraulic Steering Fluid.
Page 177 fReQuently aSked QueStionS How do i “check my oil?” Unscrew the vent cap in your helm (upper station on dual station boats). NOTE: Side mount cylinders are unbalanced. If you have a side mount cylinder, the oil level in the helm must be set with the cylinder rod fully retracted.
Page 178 That depends on what was in the boat originally: a. If you are upgrading from SeaStar Solutions rotary mechanical steering (Safe-T, Big-T or rotary NFB), pre-1991 SeaStar (with square mounting flange) or SyTen, you will need to purchase a HA5418 Back Plate Kit.

These charts will help you identify cables by appearance, part number, control type and engine brand/type. In most cases, SeaStar Solutions offers three performance grades, called Standard, Midrange and Premium. For maximum performance, we recommend our Premium cables.
Page 237 If the repairs your control needs cannot be made, please replace it for safety reasons. SeaStar Solutions offers the most comprehensive line of marine controls available — it is likely we have one that is a drop-in replacement (or very close to one).

Page 240 fReQuently aSked QueStionS How do i know which control cable i need? In order to determine that, you need to know what brand(s) of engine and control head are on the boat. Mercury/Mariner/Force and OMC/Johnson/Evinrude engines usually require an “OEM type” cable when using those engine makers’ control heads. OEM type cables have special end fittings designed to connect to the control and engine with minimal hardware.
