Hydraulic steering
I was looking at the baystar kits and they only sell the non tilt helm pump in kit form. Do you have to buy all the components seperately to get the tilt helm ? Quite a bit more money that way .

Re: Hydraulic steering
You're better off with the Seastar steering.

Re: Hydraulic steering
Why is that ? Seastar comes with the tilt helm pump ?

Re: Hydraulic steering
Seastar is the heavier duty of the two. If you wanted to add power assist (you never know), you have to have the Seastar.

Re: Hydraulic steering
seastar is very easy to setup and if from scratch you may not need power assist, i got a 225 and no assist and wife drives it fine.

Re: Hydraulic steering
I just picked up a pontoon with SeaStar steering assist. Is it normal to hear a high pitched whine from the pump under the helm when I am turning the wheel? Steering assist is new to me.
Thanks

Re: Hydraulic steering
The whine is normal. It's working correctly.

Re: Hydraulic steering
Yep, when I had my 250 Verado on my Ranger all you could hear at trolling speeds was the power steering whine and a little hum from the supercharger.
