How To Bleed & Replace Marine Hydraulic Steering EASILY - SEASTAR

Here is an informative tutorial on how to easily bleed and replace SeaStar or BayStar hydraulic steering. We cover both the manual method and the machine method. Purging the hydraulic fluid via the machine works best and removes almost all of the air bubbles. If you are interested in this service, I recommend contacting Chris with Onsite Marine.

A mechanic that I know that has been around a long time swears by automatic transmission fluid in the Seastar pumps. He claims that the Seastar brand hydraulic oil will make the pump valves stick. He claims he’s fixed a few of them and he put an automatic transmission fluid in them and never has an issue with them again.🤷‍♂️

Thanks for the video! I have air in my lines, do I need to bleed the cylinder or can I just add fluid and pull the air from the steering column?

how do you bleed a hydraulic tie bar?

[@eagleclaw1988]

Im currently doing this I’ve had very stiff steering so I bleed the system completely out .. The fluid looked like coffee milky brown and watery , I have no leaks visible that I can notice checked all seals .
So even with no fluid in the system when I go to manually push the motor from side to side it’s still hard as hell.
I went ahead and filled the helm with all new fluid yet nothing has changed any ideas ? Maybe the pivot point is shot ir just time for a new sea star.

[@danglin69]

Steering tube (pivot point) corroded.

Grease is your friend..

[@eagleclaw1988]

@@PeedPeeBody eventually figured it out about 2 months ago, yes Grease and more grease..
Ended up buying a torch heating the shaft up until all the old grease melted out and pumped it full of fresh grease good as new!!

[@PeedPeeBody]

@eagleclaw1988 That is a good idea, I did not think of heating it up to make it easier as I bent the grease gun trying to push it all through. I shall remember..

[@eagleclaw1988]

@@PeedPeeBody yes works great just have to be careful with the paint. I have an electric grease gun . I would heat the shaft while having the gun hooked up to the Zerk and push out all the old GOOK.
While hot took like 2 tubes because I didn’t want to pump new grease that’s hot, so I waited for it to cool before doing the final grease.

[@slange455]

The seaStar fluid is expensive it’s aviation grade fluid that’s why they use ATF

[@843Landbased]
