Description

The SeaStar HA5438 Bottle Filler Kit simplifies the process of filling and bleeding air from your boat’s hydraulic steering system, preventing messy spills and ensuring optimal performance. This essential maintenance tool is a must-have for both professional mechanics and DIY boat owners.

Key Features and Benefits:

No-Spill Design: Provides simple, no-spill, and visible filling and purging of Dometic SeaStar helms, keeping your boat clean and your fluid contained.
Universal Compatibility: Designed for use with all inboard, outboard, and inboard/outboard SeaStar hydraulic helms.
Easy to Use: The kit includes a clear hose with a specific screw cap to attach securely to standard 1-quart (or 1-liter) SeaStar hydraulic fluid bottles (HA5430H fluid recommended) and a push-pin for venting/resealing the bottle.
Direct Connection: The other end of the hose features a 3/8″ NPT tail that threads directly into the SeaStar marine hydraulic helm pump, ensuring a tight and secure fit during the fill process.
Durable Construction: Constructed with high-quality, flexible plastic tubing and black fittings designed to withstand the marine environment.

How to Use:

Pre-fill the helm pump with fluid before connecting the filler tube.
Attach the threaded end of the clear hose into the helm’s filler port.
Securely screw the other end’s cap onto an upright quart bottle of SeaStar fluid.
Invert the bottle and pierce the bottom with the included push-pin to start oil flow.
Bleed the system by turning the steering wheel and opening the bleeder nipples at the cylinder while ensuring the fluid level in the filler tube never drops below the helm opening to avoid introducing air.

This kit makes routine maintenance and full system flushes of your hydraulic steering system a breeze, ensuring smooth, responsive, and reliable steering control on the water.
