SeaStar Pro Helm 17 Hydraulic Steering Helm, Part Number HH5779-4

The SeaStar Pro Helm 17 (part number HH5779-4) is a hydraulic steering helm pump built for boats running a SeaStar hydraulic steering system. As part of SeaStar's PRO helm line, it is designed to work with SeaStar Power Assist PRO systems rather than the standard Power Assist system used with non-PRO helms, so make sure any power assist unit paired with this helm is the PRO version. The helm is the pump station at the wheel that generates the hydraulic pressure sent through the steering lines to the cylinder at the outboard or sterndrive, giving the operator direct, responsive control at the helm station.
