SeaStar液压系统
这里有大马力/高速划船，转向系统必须以大容量运行。SeaStar液压转向系统设计用于在需要时提供额外的肌肉余量，并在50英尺以下的船上轻松处理舷外、Sterndrive和舷内发动机。
系统的选择、安装和服务大大简化，只需三个主要部件——舵、气缸和卡套管或软管。SeaStar拥有一系列可用的油缸，可用于处理各种舷外、Sterndrive和舷内转向应用。这些都适合娱乐和商业应用。可轻松添加额外的转向站和/或自动驾驶仪。
选择系统
目的是使转向系统符合船舶的要求。这取决于四件事：
?船舶类型（即：滑行或排水）
?船舶推进系统的类型（即：舷外、排架、舷内等）
?工程师数量
The SeaStar Hydraulic System
High-horsepower/high-speed boating is here and steering systems must perform at maximum capacity. The SeaStar Hydraulic Steering System is designed to provide that extra margin of muscle when needed and easily handles Outboard, Sterndrive and Inboard engines in boats up to 50 feet.
System selection, installation and service is substantially simplified with just three major components – helm, cylinder and tube or hose. SeaStar has a comprehensive range of available cylinders to handle a variety of Outboard, Sterndrive and Inboard steering applications. These are suitable for both pleasure and commercial applications. Extra steering stations and/or autopilots are easily added.
Selecting a System
The objective is to match the steering system to the requirements of the vessel. This depends on four things:
? Type of vessel (i.e.: planing or displacement)
? Type of propulsion system in the vessel (i.e.: Outboard, Sterndrive, Inboard, etc.)
? The number of engines or rudders
? The total power of the engines (i.e.: Horsepower)
Next choose a cylinder that best meets these requirements. Once the cylinder has been selected, the size of the helm pump is predetermined. The options left to specify are:
? The number of steering stations
? Helm configuration (i.e.: standard or tilt helm)
? Additional features such as autopilots

Notes on Steering Response versus Steering effort
Steering wheel effort is directly proportional to the number of wheel turns lock to lock. The number of wheel turns lock to lock is dependent on three things:
? The volume of the cylinder
? The displacement of the helm pump
? The allowable movement of the rudder or drive unit
Less wheel turns lock to lock results in more steering effort. More wheel turns lock to lock results in less steering effort. However, additional factors that can influence steering effort are:
? Vessel speed
? Rudder size
? Unusual propellor selections
? Hull type (i.e.: displacement, planing, etc.), and steering wheel size
Recommendations made on this web site are guidelines based on average acceptance of steering effort.
