a) Consult Manufacturer for hull lengths.

CYLINDER INSTALLATION
Proper cylinder installation is the key to the successful operation of the hydraulic steering system. An incorrectly installed cylinder is subject to rapid seal and bearing wear and non-repairable damage.

An imaginary line drawn through the tiller arm hole at both hard over positions will create the cylinder centre line. With tiller arm at hard over positions, angle X and Y should be the same. Select the diagram and dimensional data that corresponds with your cylinder model.

Notice
Not all possible cylinder mounting configurations are shown, however, all necessary dimensions are shown regardless of mounting configurations.

CAPILANO HELM PUMPS
1250V, 1275V & 1350

A unique variable displacement feature on the 1250V and 1275V helms allows the helms-person to adjust the amount of steering wheel turns to their preference within a predetermined range. The 1350 helm is a fixed displacement pump.

1250V & 1275V Helm Pumps

1350 Helm Pump

TUBING, HOSES and FITTING KITS
The use of seamless soft annealed refrigeration copper tubing, type L is recommended. If flexible hose is required, use hose that has a minimum operating pressure of 1000PSI, a burst pressure of 5000PSI and the lowest available expansion factor. The 1250V requires the use of 1/2″ OD copper tube while the 1275V requires the use of 5/8″ OD copper tube. The 1350 Helm Pump requires the use of 3/4″ OD copper tube.

Cylinder Hoses
Steering systems installed with copper tubing require short pieces of flexible hose to accommodate slight cylinder movement. Hoses are supplied with 1/2″ swivel flare nuts on each end. Hoses are sold as a pair for single cylinder applications and separately for the variables of twin cylinder installations.

Hynautic

INTRODUCTION
SeaStar offers rugged 3-line Hynautic Heavy Duty steering systems for most work and pleasure vessels up to 70 feet.

Heavy Duty helms combine one or two bi-directional axial piston pumps with pilot check and make-up check valving. The result is a unit which prevents rudder feedback, is very efficient (even at low RPM), and is immediately adaptable to multi-station use.

A wide choice of helm displacements and cylinder configurations make it easy to spec a system which can handle a variety of large boat performance requirements and accommodate most user preferences.

Features
• Low friction heavy duty hydraulic steering.
• Helm/cylinder combinations for most inboards. Marine grade materials.
• Heavy duty helms available in three displacements, to accommodate most applications and user preferences.
• Helms available with 1” straight shaft or 3/4” tapered. Mount facing any direction.
• Quick air purge relief valve.
• Fluid fill at remote reservoir.
• Heavy duty brass cylinders. Two-axis articulation. Easy installation for single or dual rudder vessels.
• Meets or exceeds applicable standards.
• Accepts most steering wheels.

Notice
The application guide should be used with discretion. The chart is only a guide to selecting a steering system. A steering system manufacturer cannot anticipate all the variables in boat-rudder design that affect the steering loads. It is the final responsibility of the boat builder/designer to specify maximum expected steering loads. If the required information is not available, please see the Displacement and Planning Hull data sheets on page 10-21 and page 10-22.

HELM OPTIONS

Four helms are offered in 3 displacements, as noted in the chart at right. The H-21 helm has a 1″ straight wheel shaft; H-25 has a 3/4″ tapered shaft. The H-42 and H-41 helms both have a 1″ straight wheel shaft.

HELM PART NO.	DISPLACEMENT RANGE	RELIEF VALVE STEERING
H-21	2.75 cu.in.	950 psi (66Bar)
H-25	2.75 cu.in.	950 psi (66Bar)
H-42	4.00 cu.in.	950 psi (66Bar)
H-41	5.50 cu.in.	950 psi (66Bar)

TUBING / HOSE OPTIONS

Use soft refrigeration type copper tubing for optimum performance. For tube-to-cylinder flex hoses, select a hydraulic hose rated for 1000 PSI (70 bar) working pressure, and with a very low volumetric expansion rating.

HELM TYPE	DISTANCE—CYLINDER TO FURTHEST HELM
HELM TYPE	40 FEET OR LESS	MORE THAN 40 FEET
All	1/2″ O.D. Copper Tubing	5/8″ O.D. Copper Tubing

CYLINDER OPTIONS

Cylinders are made from brass & stainless steel. Available with stainless rod & ball joint (TMB models) or stainless rod & bronze clevis (TMC models.) Cylinders with ball joints have 2-axis articulation.
The K-31 is an optional pivot mount cylinder which can be used in the systems numbered “8a” and “8b” on the opposite page. With this cylinder, the number of wheel turns becomes 6.4 (using the H-42 helm) or 4.6 (H-41 helm).
