SeaStar Hydraulic Steering Fluid HA5440H, 1 Gallon, for SeaStar/BayStar Hydraulic Steering Systems
SeaStar Hydraulic Steering Fluid (HA5440H) is a 1 gallon supply of the fluid engineered specifically for SeaStar and BayStar hydraulic steering systems. It is formulated with a proprietary additive package that includes anti-foaming and anti-rusting agents, anti-oxidants, viscosity stabilizers, corrosion inhibitors, wear additives, and a water emulsification additive, all working together to protect the internal components of a hydraulic steering system and keep steering response smooth and consistent.
This fluid is validated and performance matched specifically for SeaStar Solutions hydraulic steering systems, meaning it is tested and engineered to work with the tolerances and materials used in those systems rather than being a generic hydraulic fluid. Due to upgrades in SeaStar Solutions steering system components, only SeaStar Steering Fluid is recommended for use in these systems. HA5440H is the same formulation as the earlier HA5440; the part number changed but the fluid itself did not. It is made in the USA and supplied as a liquid in a 1 gallon bottle (128 fluid ounces). For a clean bleed of a hydraulic steering system, a hydraulic filler kit (part number HA5458) is available separately.
