SeaStar HA1205 Pilot Retro Fit Kit for SeaStar Power Assist Hydraulic Steering

The SeaStar HA1205 Pilot Retro Fit Kit lets you retrofit a SeaStar power assist unit to work with a SeaStar hydraulic pump, adding autopilot compatibility to your boat's power assist steering system. SeaStar Power Assist steering is designed for today's high horsepower engines, which are heavier and generate more propeller torque than earlier engines, creating steering loads that can be tiring and uncomfortable to hold at the wheel. By virtually eliminating these steering loads, the SeaStar Power Assist system gives boaters the same comfortable, effortless steering feel found in modern cars, even in demanding, high load applications, so the boat can be driven safely and easily by the whole family.

The HA1205 kit includes the hardware needed to complete the retrofit: 3 bolts and 3 O-rings. It is intended for use with a SeaStar hydraulic pump as part of installing pilot capability onto an existing SeaStar power assist steering unit.
