SeaStar HS5161 Seal Kit for 250V/75V and 1250V/75V Helm Pumps
The SeaStar HS5161 is a seal kit engineered to service SeaStar 250V/75V and 1250V/75V helm pumps, restoring hydraulic steering performance when internal seals wear or begin to leak. As boats log hours on the water, the internal seals in a hydraulic helm pump are exposed to constant pressure cycling and fluid contact, and over time they can lose their sealing ability, leading to soft steering, fluid seepage, or a loss of steering feedback. The HS5161 kit provides the replacement seal components needed to rebuild the helm pump and return it to proper working order without purchasing an entirely new unit.
This kit is built for the SeaStar 250V/75V and 1250V/75V helm pump models specifically, so it is intended for boat owners and marine technicians performing routine maintenance or troubleshooting a steering fluid leak on these units. The kit includes one full set of components per package and is made with plastic parts sized to fit the factory helm pump housing. Because it is a direct-fit kit for these named SeaStar helm pump models, it simplifies sourcing the correct seals without guesswork.
