Helm steering pump displacement selection

#1 Post by JonCBrand » Wed Mar 23, 2011 9:03 am

Any recomendations on what displacement helm pump would be best for a toon. I have the seastar HC5345 cylinder. I think there are 1.7 2 and 2.4 ci pumps.
My theory is that a 1.7ci pump would give the most assist, being that is has the smallest displacement.

This is going on my 24' Playcraft currently undergoing the tritoon conversion.
I will be running a 135hp on in until I can find the right deal on a 200-250
What's Next?
1989 Playcraft PE-24 Tri-Toon
Johnson 2.6L GT 235hp on a 10" Jackplate
Future plans include, strakes on all but 2 outer sides of tubes, 50 gal fuel tank in center tube, stretch center tube 2ft
