Designed to outperform the two-person operation and the expensive mechanical or automatic pressure fill systems which could blow out seals in the helm or cylinder.
Specifically engineered for SeaStar Systems in high-performing boating applications, it is compatible with many systems, including Buckshot Racing’s 350 HP and 700 HP Hydraulic Steering Systems, as well as other front cylinder outboard steering systems. The kit is built for durability and precision, ensuring reliable air removal for optimal steering performance.
How to Bleed the SeaStar Hydraulic Steering System using the Buckshot Racing #77 Self-Bleeding Kit for Hydraulic Steering Systems? Folloe these step by step introductions.
1) Preparation and Setup
Before beginning, inspect your hydraulic steering system to ensure that all hoses, fittings, and components are in good condition. This kit is compatible with a variety of systems, making it an ideal choice for high-performance boats and other marine applications. Start by attaching the brass adapter and bridge tube to the bleeder valves on both sides of the front cylinder in your outboard steering system.
The bridge tube creates a closed-loop system that allows fluid to flow between valves, enabling one-person operation. Secure your boat to ensure stability during the procedure and position the steering cylinder by aligning the outboard motor or rudder to the center.
2) Bleeding the Hydraulic Steering System
To begin the bleeding process, remove the fill plug from the helm pump and connect the included fill tube from the kit to the helm’s fill port. Attach the hydraulic fluid bottle to the fill tube, ensuring that the bottle remains elevated for a gravity feed. Turn the steering wheel fully clockwise to allow the fluid to flow between the bleeder valves via the bridge tube, which displaces trapped air.
Next, turn the wheel fully counterclockwise to reverse the flow. Repeat this process several times, keeping an eye on the fluid in the bridge tube for air bubbles. Continue cycling the steering wheel until no bubbles are visible. Throughout this process, maintain the fluid level in the helm pump to prevent air from re-entering the system.
3) Final Steps and Testing
Once the system is free of air, close the bleeder valves securely and remove the bridge tube. Replace the fill plug on the helm, ensuring a tight seal. Test the steering system by turning the wheel fully in both directions to confirm smooth, responsive operation.
Inspect all connections for leaks, verifying the system’s functionality under high-performance conditions. This thorough bleeding process ensures reliable and precise steering, essential for high-performance boating.
