Sterndrive Steering

Effortless steering for high powered marine engines

A PERFECT SOLUTION FOR NON-POWER ASSISTED STERNDRIVES

SeaStar sterndrive steering is the best choice for non-power assisted sterndrives. The system is based upon the SeaStar helm family, which allows for dual stations, multiple drives and autopilot use. Cylinders are specific to drive brands and models. 

 

Features:

  • Best and most economical autopilot interface for sterndrives - simplifying installation
  • Simple, multiple steering station connection
  • Optional SeaStar 2.0 and 2.4 helms for quicker steering response
  • Standard 3/4" tapered steering shaft
  • Fast, easy installation
  • Meets A.B.Y.C. standards
  • Meets N.M.M.A. certification

SEASTAR AUTOPILOT INTERFACE

SeaStar is the best steering choice to interface with most autopilots. If you are installing an autopilot on a mechanically steered boat, we recommend you upgrade to SeaStar for performance reasons. If you're upgrading to SeaStar, plan ahead: future installation of an autopilot or extra steering station can be simplified by installing two pairs of shorter hose kits. Connect them with union coupling fittings, part no. HF5527. Tee fittings can be installed with ease at a later date. Bulkhead union fitting kits are available to facilitate hose runs through transoms and splashwells. 

For an autopilot installation, a third (compensating) line must be installed and identified. (SeaStar helm ports marked "R" are for connection of additional helm and/or autopilot compensating lines.) Use HF6007 (outboards) or HF5502 (sterndrives and inboards) fitting kits when adding an autopilot to your SeaStar system.
