    Power Steering Leak????

    C74D5A3E-C19B-4595-B854-8D45452C232E.jpegC74D5A3E-C19B-4595-B854-8D45452C232E.jpeg

    I have a power steering leak somewhere. It looks like it’s coming from one the bolt pumps in the rear of the helm?? Anyone seen anything like this? I have a seastar tilt model. Thanks!

    anyone know a model number for their helm pump???

    If this info helps anyone, here it is....
    The helm model is RHH5290. The helm was not leaking from that bolt, nothing to leak there. Could of been a shaft seal. Sent it in to be rebuilt, had grime and corrosion in it and could not be rebuilt. Bought a reman helm from fluid-tech.com in Jacksonville, FL. Talked with Michael several times and he was extremely helpful.

    I bought a rebuild kit as well as put in a small amount of leak seal as well. No problems going on 6 years.
