SeaStar Hydraulic Boat Helm Pump Rebuild Service

SeaStar Hydraulic Marine Boat Helm Pump (REBUILD SERVICE ONLY)

Background:

• Over an extended period of time, SeaStar boat helm pump shaft seals begin to fail, causing steering fluid to leak and steering to become hard or loose to turn.
• Not all helms are rebuildable, for example if the helm is rusted, corroded, or has holes in it. You can send in your helm for inspection, and if it is not rebuildable there is a $40 fee for our techs time. We will give you the best option for a replacement and that $40 can be applied to a new helm if you wish to do so.

Other Options

• Most SeaStar helm pumps are still available for purchase or at the very least there is a similar replacement. See our SeaStar Helm Pump page for more information.

How Much Does it Cost?

• Basic Rebuild & Seal Kit - $200.00
• Return Shipping (calculated in cart or at checkout)
• Not Rebuildable after inspection? $40 + Return Shipping if you wish to keep the helm. The $40 can be applied to a new helm!
