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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\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 HS5161\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Helm Pump Models:\u003c\/strong\u003e 250V\/75V, 1250V\/75V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Items:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.07 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 731957806307\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeaStar 250V\/75V helm pump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeaStar 1250V\/75V helm pump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the SeaStar HS5161 seal kit used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The HS5161 is a seal kit for rebuilding SeaStar 250V\/75V and 1250V\/75V helm pumps when internal seals wear out or start leaking hydraulic fluid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich helm pumps does the HS5161 fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e It fits the SeaStar 250V\/75V helm pump and the SeaStar 1250V\/75V helm pump.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many kits do I need for one helm pump?\u003c\/strong\u003e One HS5161 kit contains one complete set of seal components, and the package quantity is one item per kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material are the seals made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e The seal components in the SeaStar HS5161 kit are made of plastic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color are the parts in the HS5161 kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The components included in the HS5161 seal kit are black.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the HS5161 seal kit weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SeaStar HS5161 seal kit weighs 0.07 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the HS5161 kit stop a steering fluid leak?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, replacing worn seals with the HS5161 kit is intended to restore proper sealing in a SeaStar 250V\/75V or 1250V\/75V helm pump and resolve leaks caused by seal wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the HS5161 an OEM SeaStar part?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, HS5161 is the SeaStar manufacturer part number for this seal kit, not a generic aftermarket substitute.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I install the HS5161 seal kit myself?\u003c\/strong\u003e The HS5161 kit is designed to rebuild the helm pump's internal seals, which is typically done by a boat owner or marine technician familiar with servicing SeaStar hydraulic steering pumps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included in the HS5161 kit box?\u003c\/strong\u003e The HS5161 package includes one seal kit for the SeaStar 250V\/75V and 1250V\/75V helm pumps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the HS5161 kit come with a warranty?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SeaStar HS5161 seal kit is backed by a limited warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the HS5161 kit the same for both the 250V\/75V and 1250V\/75V pumps?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the SeaStar HS5161 kit is listed as compatible with both the 250V\/75V and 1250V\/75V helm pump models.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SeaStar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48989350822107,"sku":"TEL-HS5161","price":62.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/tel-hs5161_lg__96632.1558179287.500.750.jpg?v=1785188363","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/seastar-hs5161-helm-seal-kit-for-250v-75v-and-1250v-75v-steering-helm-pumps","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
