INTRODUCTION
SeaStar offers rugged 3-line Hynautic Heavy Duty steering systems for most work and pleasure vessels up to 70 feet.
Heavy Duty helms combine one or two bi-directional axial piston pumps with pilot check and make-up check valving. The result is a unit which prevents rudder feedback, is very efficient (even at low RPM), and is immediately adaptable to multi-station use.
A wide choice of helm displacements and cylinder configurations make it easy to spec a system which can handle a variety of large boat performance requirements and accommodate most user preferences.
Features
• Low friction heavy duty hydraulic steering.
• Helm/cylinder combinations for most inboards. Marine grade materials.
• Heavy duty helms available in three displacements, to accommodate most applications and user preferences.
• Helms available with 1” straight shaft or 3/4” tapered. Mount facing any direction.
• Quick air purge relief valve.
• Fluid fill at remote reservoir.
• Heavy duty brass cylinders. Two-axis articulation. Easy installation for single or dual rudder vessels.
• Meets or exceeds applicable standards.
• Accepts most steering wheels.

Notice
The application guide should be used with discretion. The chart is only a guide to selecting a steering system. A steering system manufacturer cannot anticipate all the variables in boat-rudder design that affect the steering loads. It is the final responsibility of the boat builder/designer to specify maximum expected steering loads. If the required information is not available, please see the Displacement and Planning Hull data sheets on page 10-21 and page 10-22.

TUBING / HOSE OPTIONS
Use soft refrigeration type copper tubing for optimum performance. For tube-to-cylinder flex hoses, select a hydraulic hose rated for 1000 PSI (70 bar) working pressure, and with a very low volumetric expansion rating.

CYLINDER OPTIONS
Cylinders are made from brass & stainless steel. Available with stainless rod & ball joint (TMB models) or stainless rod & bronze clevis (TMC models.) Cylinders with ball joints have 2-axis articulation.
The K-31 is an optional pivot mount cylinder which can be used in the systems numbered “8a” and “8b” on the opposite page. With this cylinder, the number of wheel turns becomes 6.4 (using the H-42 helm) or 4.6 (H-41 helm).
