Customer Reviews for VEVOR Hydraulic Steering Kit 300HP Hydraulic Steering Compact Cylinder Hydraulic Outboard Steering Kit with Helm Pump for Boat Marine Steering System

Worked as described

nice helm, easy install. Works perfectly. Is an addon second station which requires one vented cap and one non vented cap to allow proper bleeding. Unit cap seems to be invented but I changed and it bled normally. Am not using vevor hoses but Parker 5/16 id with crimped fittings. A helm pump is fairly simple and very durable so I have no failure concerns which non compliant hoses may have presented

Everything worked out great thank you! So glad to have dingy back in service and operable. Fast and great service and reliable replacement. Thank you again

I bought the Vevor pump HH5271-3 to replace a SeaStar 1.7, and it worked beautifully. Aside from the label, you’d think they’re identical. It fit perfectly with the existing mounting holes and pipes. At just a third of the price of a SeaStar, I would definitely buy it again

Did the job as good as SeaStar for 1/3 the cost. I recommend you buy this unit

Very happy with product looks identical to the replaced unit which was a Baystar . I have taken my boat out a18 foot flats boat with an 90hp Yamaha. and it seems to work just as good as the original . Time will tell in the saltwater environment I fish in.

Great plug and play replacement for the older style steering pump, very responsive, easy to install, threaded ends a perfect fit for install to the existing lines! Would buy again

Didn’t work with my engine

Hardware seems very rugged and well built with good overall quality. Installed this on an East Marine Godiac 320 Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB). The hardest part of this project was removing the old cable steering. The hydraulic cylinder and linkage was simple to install on my 2022 Tohatsu 20HP outboard and correctly adjust to center steering range. The steering pump shaft mated perfectly to my original steering wheel and fit in the original hole in the helm. In my opinion, the small boat manufacturers would save enough money on installation to pay for this as original equipment instead of the cable steering which, in my experience, always binds up and corrodes. The manual was not very helpful, but I learned everything I needed from watching a few DIY Youtube videos. Just be careful when you are filling hydraulic fluid to NOT inject air into the system. I used ISO 46 hydraulic fluid from an auto parts store.

Replaced a Seastar with this one and it works wonderfully.
