Another couple of questions  I've got a teleflex seastar hydraulic steering system, which at the moment is leaking...where to get a seal kit..? Do I have to use their hydraulic fluid or can I just use normal power steering fluid?

I dont know anywhere local you can get the seal kits. Check with Kenny at Emerald Coast Marine. As far as the fluid goes. You can use Automatic Tranny fluid. Steering will be a little stiffer than with the hyrdolic fluid.

You can use Automatic Tranny fluid.
Only in a emergency and then you flush it out. This is per Teleflex's website.

You can use Automatic Tranny fluid. Only in a emergency and then you flush it out. This is per Teleflex's website. I thought so also. Off web site... SeaStar hydraulic steering systems require the use of a special high quality hydraulic fluid meeting MIL SPEC H-5606 C. This fluid is available in 1 liter (33.8 US fluid ounce) bottles as: SeaStar Hydraulic Fluid:
Part Number HA5430 - 1 Liter
Part Number HA5440 - 4 Liters

I can get you the seal kit if you are near Navarre. Where is the leak, Helm or cylinder? Recommend staying with the Sea Star fluid.
