Sea Star seal replacement

Seastar seal replacements

On Saturday 8/3/2024, I took my brother in-law and some of his friends fishing offshore. When we got back home, I noticed that the starboard Seastar Hydraulic steering ram was leaking fluid. I had recently repaired the port steering ram so it made sense that the starboard would go out soon. This is a quick video on how to replace the seals on the SeaStar HC53454 steering ram. You will need to purchase a Dometic seal kit model number HS5157. This kit works on many Seastars so make sure the kit identifies your steering ram. AMAZON: please do not use the AMAZON seal kits that are $30 to $ 60 bucks. I have tried them and within a few weeks they were leaking again. Spend the money on the Dometic brand that makes SeaStar steering rams. I spent a little extra cash and ordered specific tools on removing the components built around the steering ram. I went to https://marinetech.com and ordered the Pin Wrench (Splaner tool), Seastar Flex support bracket puller (Ear Puller) and the Hydraulic Steering Filler hose kit. I believe I actually ordered the tools on Amazon for the free shipping at the time. I hope I was able to help.

Thank You
