Seastar Bleed Kit/Fill Kit; Leak Free Brass Helm Fitting; Rust Free Quick Connect Professional Bleed Kit for Seastar Hydraulic Steering Systems; Works With Seastar Hydraulic Steering Fluid

Works perfect. I am a boat mechanic service shop owner and have bleed many Sea Star hydraulic steering systems. I found this kit while looking for quick connects for the breeders. Let me tell you, this is a no mess system. This was the first time I've ever bleed a system without spilling a drop! You will be surprised about how much less of that expensive $33 per quart oil you will use!!! It also made the tightest steering system I've ever felt, since you just keep cycling the fluid until all of the air is out. Wish I had this years ago. The trick is patience, poke your hole in the right spot on the bottle and give it little squeezes as you are spinning the wheel it helps pull up the air bubbles out of helm. Overall it takes about the same time as bleeding with two people but now you can do a way better job with no mess all by yourself. Highly recommend!!! Need more hacks like this. Wish there were an extra quick connect to bleed drain the hose when finished while letting it gang but with a small screw driver you can use the helm threaded male fitting to open one side and a screw driver in the other to open the release valve!

Received on time and used it that day. The product is on the expensive side but the brass fittings are good quality.After hooking the hoses to my steering system, which is very straightforward (just watch the video), I started purging the air from my system. Lots of air bubbles, more than what seemed to be purging. So many that I thought maybe one of the bleeder hoses was leaking so I tightened the hoses. Was still seeing bubbles but very few. I purged a while longer and finally just stopped. Today it has settled down and is steering well. So the bottom line is it seems to be a quality product and works as advertised. Color me well satisfied.

I’ve used the cheap bleed kits but never could seem to get all the air out. I still had to bleed it multiple times but that might be due to using the cheap ones before. I can finally get my steering solid with this kit and it’s easy to use and not messy like the cheap ones.

No leaks with this product, however you may still have some air trapped in the helm unit. Note: do not close either bleeder while using in an effort to remove helm air pockets. If you do, the hose will give way. We’ll made product, solves leak at bottle end and installs easily.

Do not spend one dime of your money on any other kit this is the only option if you use the inferior cats they will bleed it out you will never get your steering complete you will waste more money on hydraulic fluid than the difference in the kit price I can tell you for my own experience it is worth the money

Only need one person to bleed your system, no mess. I mean NO mess!!! Buy the sea star product, not the cheap version. Makes life easier.

Started with a knock off version. It sucked! Bought this one and it worked flawlessly!
