HOW TO SELECT A STERNDRIVE STEERING SYSTEM
1. From the order guide select the drive configuration based on the number of
drives.
2. From the application guide confirm that a cylinder is available for your
specific make, model and year of drive unit. Select the cylinder that is
appropriate for the drive.
3. From the order guide select the appropriate helm and accessory hardware. Note
that two helm pumps of different displacements are available for power steered
sterndrives. The displacement of the helm affects the number of turns lock to
lock. Select the helm displacement on the basis of the desired steering
response.
4. Select the appropriate tube or hose and fitting kits.
5. Confirm that sufficient space is available in the dash and engine
compartments for the equipment.

1. SeaStar helms are the standard recommendation for both non-power and power
steered applications.
2. SeaStar helms can be specified for power steered applications where faster
steering response is desired. Review the application guide for recommendations.
3. * For SeaStar systems: use 3/8″ dia nylon tubing ref part No. HT5_ _
* For SeaStar systems: Use the following option A or B
A) Outboard hose: Hoses must be ordered in standard lengths. They cannot be cut
to length.
B) Copper tube: 3/8″ diameter copper tube and hose kit part No. HF5508
4. For dual stern drives – use the tie bar supplied by the engine manufacturer.
Notice
These recommendations apply to factory stock stern
drives only.
Modified installations may require a higher capacity steering system. If in
doubt, contact our technical service for assistance.

Notes
1. Balanced system – ie: the number of turns lock
to lock is equal port to starboard or vice-versa.
2. Unbalanced system – ie: the number of turns lock to lock is not equal port to
starboard or vice-versa.
3. Requires additional clevis supplied by engine manufacturer. Reference
Quicksilver part No. B98735A1.
4. Requires cylinder rod end adapter HA5424 supplied by Teleflex Canada Limited
Partnership.
5. HC5332 replaces HC5326 as of January 2000. If installing HC5326 additional
clevis supplied by engine manufacturer required (part number B98735A1).
6. The installation of the HC5332 sterndrive cylinder requires the use of
SeaStar Outboard hose only. Do not use 3/8″ copper or nylon tube.
7. If engine outdrive is NOT equipped with a torque tab on the underside of the
lower leg one must be installed to reduce prop torque.
8. Yanmar Engines using the Bravo III drives require the use of cylinder
HC5326-3.

PERFORMANCE I/O AND OUTBOARD CYLINDERS
The K-5-B cylinder was designed for inboard/outboard boats requiring external
cylinders of substantial size and strength. The K-5 cylinders are nickel plated
for aesthetics and protection against the elements. This cylinder does not
include the wing plates or hardware required for mounting to the outdrive.
Porting is through two through-transom 1/4″ NPT ports located at the mounting
end of the cylinder.
Notice
K-5-B steering cylinders have a large volume. To
keep total wheel turns at a reasonable amount, it is recommended to use a larger
displacement helm pump, such as Capilano HH5275 (5.4 cu.in. displacement MAX).
