Seafirst Marine Hydraulic Steering Systems
AVAILABLE EXCLUSIVELY FROM SEABOARD MARINE
Seafirst Vari-Pump HP 4590
 
DESIGN
The designs of our pumps are uncompromising with engineering features typically only found in much larger and more expensive units. Simple and efficient, our two-line system does not require "pressurized air" to operate, and features a precision-made, ultra smooth, non-pulsating axial piston pump design, with a roller-bearing squash plate. These pumps easily adapt to most any non-power-steered vessel from 18 to 70 ft in both recreational and commercial applications.

FEATURES
Hydraulic Valve Block with built-in lock valves -Extra Heavy Duty Aluminum casting & machined valve block with standard 3/8"" NPT threads allow simple and easy connections to hydraulic lines. No "funny" adapters needed or prone-to-crack "pot-metal" castings.
All pumps have a built-in internal relief valve for total system protection and allows any number of stations with automatic station change-over and eliminates unwanted rudder feedback.

Pump Shaft & Seal - Oversized 30mm diameter stress relieved non-magnetic Stainless Steel with an industry standard taper, straight key design & externally replaceable industry standard double lip oil seal. No more lost Woodruff keys and allows easy sleeve adaptation to 1" bored steering wheels.

Bearings - 100% needle roller & ball bearing support for the steering< shaft only seen in much larger pumps or more expensive designs.

Case & Housing design
- Made from specially treated Marine Grade Aluminum, epoxy baked finish that is impervious to the saltwater environment with no more bubbling coatings or corroding pot metal cases. "O-ringed" sealed case w/ large built-in reservoir. Vented and non-vented caps allowing horizontal or vertical mountings, multiple upper & lower stations, and remote reservoirs (if desired), with no gaskets to leak or deteriorate..

Hydraulic Oil
- Multiple fluid compatibility as SEAFIRST pumps operate on both Dextron ATF or other common hydraulic, aviation, or steering oils meeting MIL-H-5056. We recommend ATF for hotter climates where daytime temps are typically above 90F
