WARNING
DO NOT use a wire coil type trim switch with a hydraulic steering system. Wire coil can wind up tight around the steering wheel shaft and prevent further steering!

Before proceeding with the installation, read these instructions thoroughly. Dometic cannot accept responsibility for installations where instructions have not been followed, where substitute parts have been used, or where modifications have been made to our products.
Due to a small amount of internal hydraulic slip, a “master spoke” or “centered” steering wheel cannot be maintained with a hydraulic steering system. For best results, use an equal distance spoke steering wheel. SeaStar Pro Helm Pumps are not 100% locking and therefore, a small amount of hydraulic drift is normal.
Pro Trim offers fingertip trim or jackplate control with a column-mounted switch, enabling you to keep both hands on the steering wheel and concentrate on your driving. Pro Trim PT1000 controls trim or jackplate only. Pro Trim Dual PT2000 controls both functions.
To assist with the installation and maintenance of this steering system, Dometic recommends that;
· You read and understand ALL installation manuals before your start the installation process (cylinders, helms, power assist, etc.). Knowing the correct order of installation and location of components will drastically reduce installation time as well as inform you of common installation errors.
· Read and understand ALL Safety Information that is noted in this manual and ALL other Installation Manuals.

WARNING

HYDRAULIC HOSE INSTALLATION
Steering hoses and how they are installed are critical to the safe operation of your steering system. Dometic recommends the use of SeaStar Steering hoses ONLY. Use of any other hose may drastically reduce system performance and safety.
DO NOT cut SeaStar steering hoses, cutting these hoses will render them useless. Before continuing on with the installation of your steering hoses, please ensure that you read and understand the important points shown below; · DO NOT install any pipe sealant onto the “hose” side of a fitting or on
either side of an ORB fitting. · DO NOT remove protective end covers until the hoses have been
routed and are ready to be connected to the helm pump, hose fitting or steering cylinder(s). · Before, during and after installation the hoses MUST be protected from chaffing, rubbing, and contact or interference with assembly screws or sharp edges of any type. · DO NOT install hoses where they will be directly exposed to high heat, such as manifolds and engines, or highly corrosive areas such as battery fumes or electrical components. · If possible, route hoses through a protective PVC cover. · Secure hoses in minimum 2′ increments using suitable hose trays, protective shields or appropriately sized non-marking, non-constricting rubberized `P’ clamps. · DO NOT bend hoses tighter than a 3-1/2″ (89 mm) radius. · Provide sufficient hose lengths to allow for cylinder movement throughout the turning arc and UP/DOWN trim/tilt settings of the engine(s). · DO NOT allow hoses to hang free in an area where they could become a safety hazard. · DO NOT use extruded nylon tubing for plumbing a SeaStar outboard system. Extruded nylon tubing can only be used for return/compensating lines between power assist and/or autopilot pumps and the helm pump. · Where possible, route hoses in an area where they can be easily inspected for wear on a regular basis.
Continuous kinking, rubbing, chafing or twisting of a steering hose may eventually weaken the hose(s) to a point where it could rupture. Rupture of a hose will lead to loss of steering control.

STEP 1 NOTICE

Set Up
· See figure 3 on the next page to locate your plumbing diagram. · Mark each end of the hose to ensure proper connection.
Hoses are crossed from the helm pump(s) to the steering cylinder(s). Port side helm connection will be installed onto the starboard fitting on the cylinder, and the Starboard side helm connection will be installed onto the port side fitting on the cylinder.

STEP 2

Routing
Throughout the hose installation, ensure the protective caps remain installed onto the end of the hoses. Doing so will prevent contamination from entering the system.
· Route steering hoses so that the hose bend restrictor will be located at the steering cylinder(s).
7

WARNING
1. Minimum hose bend radius 3-1/2″ (89 mm).
2. If orientation is required, see page 10 for ORB Hose fitting installation/realignment.
3. Hoses should be secured to the control cable harness if they enter the splashwell through the boot.

· Route steering hoses so that they have a gradual rise from the steering cylinder(s) to the helm pump.
· If routing hoses through a blind area, ensure that the area is free and clear of any sharp edge, screw or any other object that may damage the hose.
· Secure hoses every 2′.
Substituting brass fittings into the steering cylinder will result in galvanic corrosion and irreparable damage to the cylinder as well as affect system integrity.

Installation of PRO and Catamaran cylinders are similar to that of the front mount cylinders. Notes will be made when differences occur. For Tournament Cylinders please refer to Installation Book 48 included with your Tournament steering cylinder.
On the following pages of this instruction booklet you will find the assembly drawing for your specific application.
Before beginning installation make sure that all mounting hardware is included and that the tiller arm and tilt tube bolt holes are clean & free from rust or burrs.
Engines with rigid engine mounts have been shown to cause premature wear to the pivot cylinder — therefore, please perform a complete Inspection of your steering system as outlined in the Maintenance Section at the back of this manual.
STEP 1: Using an approved marine grease such as Sierra Pro performance,
Sierra Hydro Defense, quicksilver marine grease, Yamaha marine grease, or an equivalent, liberally lubricate the tilt tube and support rod (Item 9) and slide the support rod through the engine tilt tube.
STEP 2: Lightly grease the tiller bolt (Item 2) & partially screw into appropriate
hole in the tiller arm to assure a proper fit. Remove and go to Step 3.
WARNING If the engine manufacturer has installed caps, plugs and/or screws into the tiller arm, these caps, plugs and/or screws MUST be removed prior to continuing on with installation.
STEP 3: Select appropriate insert diagram from page 13 to page 15 to deter-
mine proper orientation of the cylinder assembly, the tiller bolt and self locking nut (Items 13, 2 and 1). Grease tiller bolt as indicated and fully thread tiller bolt (Item 2) into the steering arm. While holding the head of the tiller bolt with a wrench, tighten and torque tiller nut (Item 1) as specified on page 33.
WARNING It is required that the tiller bolt head is held in place with a wrench while tightening the tiller nut to proper torque specification. Failure to do so may result in loss of steering control causing property damage, personal injury and/or death.
STEP 4: a) Screw the adjusting nut (item 10) all the way onto the tilt tube.
b) Place the stainless washers (Item 11) and the plastic spacers (Items 7 & 8) on the support rod.
CAUTION Refer to your specific application figure for proper orientation of spacers on both sides of the engine tilt tube.
STEP 5: Attach and secure support brackets (Item 12) to the support rod
and the cylinder shaft. Tighten using the nuts, bolts and washers (Items 3, 4, 5 & 6) as illustrated in application figures.
STEP 6: Eliminate the free play in the support rod by turning the adjusting nut
(Item 10) counter clockwise until snug. Never use a wrench on the adjusting nut. Always hand tighten. Lock the adjusting nut in place by tightening the Hexagon set screw. DO NOT TIGHTEN UNTIL ALL FASTENERS ARE TIGHTENED TO THE CORRECT TORQUE.
If installing a jack plate make sure that there isn’t any interference between the jack plate and your steering cylinder. If there is interference, it may occur during full tilt and you should install lift restrictors (Tilt Stop Switch). Some engine manufacturers supply these as standard equipment.

FILLING AND PURGING THE SYSTEM

Read First
NOTICE
If system is fitted with SeaStar Power Assist, please refer to your Power Assist Installation Manual for bleeding instructions.

These instructions show how to fill and purge a Single Station Front Mount Cylinder System. For twin station and/or twin cylinder filling and purging instructions refer to instructions on page 27 first and then proceed with instructions on this page.
This procedure requires two people. One person may not be able to remove all the air from the system which will result in spongy, unresponsive steering.
During the entire filling procedure, oil must be visible in the filler tube. DO NOT allow the oil level to disappear into the helm pump, as this may introduce air into the system and increase your filling time.

NOTICE

If using a Liquid Tie bar Valve, part # HA5471-2, please refer to the bleeding instructions included with the liquid tie bar valve.

Hydraulic Oil Requirements

NOTICE
NOTICE
NOTICE
Filling the helm full of oil can be done faster if oil is poured into the helm prior to connecting filler tube and oil bottle to the helm. Part # HA5438.

2 bottles (2 quarts or liters) for single station and single cylinder systems. 1 additional bottle for each additional helm, cylinder, or auto pilot.
Oil can be re-used if filtered through a fine mesh screen such as used for gasoline. If unable to filter oil, an additional bottle of oil is required.
“Bleeder” may refer to cylinders fitted with bleed tee fittings or bleed screws. If fitted with bleed tee fitting, open bleeder by unscrewing bleed nipple nut two turns.
FILLER PLUG (REMOVED)

DO NOT LET OIL LEVEL FALL BELOW THIS POINT

In the following pages you are instructed to hold cylinder body with your hand, if the cylinder is mounted to an engine, use the engine to hold the body in position.

Hydraulic Fluid
WARNING
ANY NON-APPROVED FLUID MAY CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE STEERING SYSTEM RESULTING IN POSSIBLE LOSS OF STEERING, CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR DEATH.

Due to recent upgrades in our steering system components, Dometic recommends use of SeaStar steering fluid ONLY in our hydraulic steering systems. SeaStar steering systems have been engineered and validated using our proprietary SeaStar hydraulic steering fluid. SeaStar steering fluid is engineered with a special additive package that contains anti-foaming and anti-rusting agents, anti-oxidants, viscosity stabilizers, corrosion inhibitors, wear additives as well as water emulsification additives. It is highly recommended that SeaStar steering fluid be used to ensure optimum system performance and safety.
Use of any non-approved fluid may result in the following;
· higher steering effort, particularly at ambient or lower temperatures and/or over time due to oil degradation and breakdown
· increased steering slip and/or drift resulting in lost motion · foaming or air entrapment causing a bumpy feel during steering · high rates of moisture absorption causing internal component corrosion · scratched steering cylinder bores and shafts due to contamination or
elevated wear rates · seal degradation ­ incompatibility with various proprietary seal
compounds used in our products.

In an emergency, SeaStar EPS Fluid, any MD-3/4 rated ATF or MIL-PRF-5606H equivalent fluid that is filtered through a fine mesh screen can be used. The system MUST be thoroughly flushed as soon as possible with genuine SeaStar Steering Fluid after using an emergency fluid.
In an EXTREME emergency, any non-toxic, non-flammable fluid that is filtered through a fine mesh screen may provide temporary steering.

Use of non-standard fluids will require an immediate and complete system flush using approved fluids, by an approved steering technician.

WARNING NOTICE

NEVER FILL OR MIX BRAKE FLUIDS, TRIGLYCERIDES OR POLYALKYLENE GLYCOLS WITHIN A HYDRAULIC STEERING SYSTEM.
SeaStar Hydraulic Steering Fluid can be used in Hynautic, BayStar and BayStar Plus steering systems.

NOTICE

Help protect your boating environment by ensuring that all used oil is disposed of properly.

Oil Level and System Check

Step 1 ­ Oil level Setting NOTICE

WARNING The oil level MUST be checked and maintained BEFORE EACH use to ensure safe steering operation. Failure to adhere to this warning may lead to loss of steering control resulting in persons being ejected from vessel or collision with an obstacle, leading to property damage, personal injury and/or death.
· For helms mounted with the wheel shaft completely horizontal MUST be filled to the bottom of filler hole AT ALL TIMES. DO NOT allow oil level to drop more than 1/4″ below filler threads.
· For helms mounted on a 20 degree angle, or, with wheel shaft in the vertical position, oil level should be within 1/2″ from the bottom of the filler hole.
If the helm is overfilled fluid WILL leak out of the vent cap. Use kit HA5403 Syringe to set fluid level of each helm.

Step 2 ­ System Check WARNING

WARNING The system check MUST be completed after installation. Doing so will ensure the safe operation of your steering system and will any fault/leak will show at this time. Failure to adhere to this warning/ check may result in the loss of steering control leading to ejection from the vessel, or, collision with an obstacle resulting in property damage, personal injury and/or death.
· Turn steering wheel hard over to hard over to confirm unrestricted movement of the steering system and hoses. Repeat this procedure in ALL trim/tilt positions of the engine(s). If interference occurs, or, hoses are being stretched this MUST be removed prior to operating your boat.
· Confirm that engine(s) are deflecting to the proper direction when steering wheel is turned.
· If no interference is noticed, or, any interference is corrected, go to next step.
· Take steering wheel hard over to starboard (any helm can be used on a multi- station boat). Once the wheel reaches its stop point (cylinder is fully stroked out), continue to force the wheel one 1 or more turns past stop. Leave wheel in this position while you check all PORT side connections, fittings, seals and hoses for leaks.
NOTICE This step will NOT harm the system and any noise made during this step should not be considered a fault in the steering system.
· If leaks are noticed they MUST be repaired prior to operating boat. After repair repeat bleeding procedures as outlined in this manual
· Repeat to the Port direction and inspect ALL starboard side connections, fittings, seals and hoses for leaks.
NOTICE This step will NOT harm the system and any noise made during this step should not be considered a fault in the steering system.
· If leaks are noticed they MUST be repaired prior to operating boat. After repair repeat bleeding procedures as outlined in this manual.
Failure to complete the above noted step or, failure to correct a problem may result in loss of steering control leading to ejection from the vessel or collision with an obstacle resulting in property damage, personal injury and/or death.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
If properly installed and maintained, your SeaStar Steering System will provide years of safe and reliable performance. Our systems have been designed with protection against over-pressure situations by a pressure relief valve. Most faults occur when installation instructions have not been followed and in most cases will present themselves immediately upon filling the system. Below are the most common faults and their likely cause and solution. Extreme caution must be exercised when diagnosing and correcting a fault. These troubleshooting guides may seem simple in text, however these MUST be completed by a qualified marine mechanic that has working knowledge of the steering system.
Dometic does NOT recommend disassembly of a helm pump, or, removing a steering cylinder rod/shaft at any time. Doing so may cause more damage, leading to irreparable damage and costly replacements.

FAULT
1. During filling, helm becomes completely locked up.

CAUSE
· Mechanical interference with other components.
· Blockage in the steering lines.
· Tilting mechanism not installed properly.
· Engine(s) are restricted.
· Power Assist H1, or H2 line crossed with R line.

2. System is very difficult to fill, air keeps burping out top of helm, even after system appears full.

· Air remaining in system. · Bleed fitting leaking. · Coiled hose.

· Reservoir/compensating lines not purged free of air.

3. Steering is hard to turn even when boat is not moving and engines are OFF.

· Adjusting nut on support rod is over tightened.
· Restrictions on hoses (see Fault 1).
· Mechanical interference with other components (see Fault 1).
· Incorrect fluid has been used to fill system.

SOLUTION
· Check ALL areas for interference, correct as required.
· Remove all steering lines. Blow air through lines. Any line not allowing good air flow may should be replaced.
· Confirm tilt mechanism is installed correctly.
· Confirm that engines are able to be moved freely with cylinder not connected.
· Confirm system is plumbed correctly.
· Bleed steering system again utilizing bleeder fittings fitted on the steering cylinder.
· Tighten bleeder, replace if leak continues.
· DO NOT cut hoses. Lessen coil, or, replace with shorter lines.
· Bleed air from reservoir/compensating lines.
· Nut should be hand-tight.
· See fault 1. · See fault 1.
· Drain and flush, fill and bleed with SeaStar fluid.
