Need help on Helm w/ hydraulic

[Blue_Runner]

Still looking. I just saw where it is a 20 degree bezel that I need. I'm pretty sure anyway.

what angle is your dash? usually the seastar system's helm just mounts right on the dash unless you get a tilt helm.

The dash where the helm is mounted is completely vertical. The helm would come out at a 90 and be sticking in my knees. Its the 20 degree I need, I'll just have to find out if it is in the kit I suppose unless someone else chimes in with some advice. I may have to buy the 20 degree bezel kit for like another 20 bucks.

Here is a link to the bezel kit. I already have a 20 degree bezel w/ wedge with my Teleflex NFB cable system. It seems like it should work for the Teleflex Seastar hydraulic helm.

let me look in my distributors catalog to see what part you need. that one for the nfb system wont work. the seastar helm mounts flat.

you need teleflex PN HA5419

Yep that is the one I saw ealier. It says drain kit HA5408 should be used. Do you think that is yet another component I would need to purchase separately?

Thanks for the help CT!!

I think you are going to have to go with a rear mount solution. I think there are pics of my install on here from two years ago. The helm goes behind the dash, otherwise you will have to move your seat back. Let me look for some pics.

Can/t find any good pics, but I found this...



I mounted the helm from behind the dash. The 20* bezel may be better?
