As a 2.4 helm, it is built for applications where faster steering response is wanted compared to a standard 1.7 helm, and it is commonly specified for power-steered setups where quicker response at the wheel matters. The front-of-dash fill design allows for convenient servicing without pulling the helm, and the compact housing needs only a 3 inch dash hole, making it possible to retrofit into an older SeaStar 4.5 inch hole cutout without cutting a new opening in the dash.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHose connections use positionable stainless steel O-ring boss (ORB) fittings, which let the installer rotate the fitting to the routing angle that works best for the boat's hose runs before final tightening, simplifying installation in tight helm stations. In typical single-cylinder outboard applications, the helm turns 3.5 times lock-to-lock. The compact footprint keeps the helm unobtrusive behind the dash while still housing the full hydraulic pump mechanism needed to drive the steering cylinder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e SeaStar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e HH5272-4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Front Mount Hydraulic Steering Helm, 2.4 Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Positionable stainless steel ORB (O-ring boss) fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTurns Lock-to-Lock:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.5 turns in most typical single cylinder outboard applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDash Hole Required:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRetrofit Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fits an existing SeaStar 4.5 inch hole cutout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFootprint:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4-7\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11 x 5.75 x 5.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.7 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Uses:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sailing, Motorboating, Jet Ski\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7315091535823\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for single-cylinder outboard steering systems using a SeaStar hydraulic steering setup;
