INTRODUCTION
This new Seastar product allows a user to manually steer an auxiliary engine (kicker motor) using their existing Seastar hydraulic steering system. Today this is accomplished with a variety of solid mechanical linkages between the main engine and the auxiliary engine. Teleflex has developed a patent pending design that incorporates a TFXtreme cable as the linkage between the two engines.

The Teleflex SeaStar Kicker Cable Tie Bar has been engineered for easy and secure installation on outboard powered vessels with popular Teleflex SeaStar hydraulic steering. By using a universal ABYC steering connection on the kicker motor, Teleflex has made it simpler than ever for builders, dealers and boaters to rig, operate and steer both motors simultaneously.

Features
• Flexible cable allows for adjustable locations of kicker motor.
• Allows independent trim/tilt of both engines.
• Allows full steering stroke of both engines.
• Simplified installation using universal ABYC steering connection (as per ABYC P17 & P21 standards) on kicker motor.
• Retrofittable to Seastar Front Mount Cylinders.
• Incorporates unique patented TFXtreme cable technology.

LIQUID TIE BAR KIT

Part # HA5471-2

The Cylinder Alignment Valve will allow for the periodic required realignment of two outboard motors or rudders that are linked together with a Hydraulic Tie Bar as opposed to a solid link or Mechanical Tie Bar. Generally found on Pontoon Boats and Catamarans. Teleflex recommends the use of a mechanical tie bar when possible. There is no true substitute for a mechanical connection. The ‘Liquid Tie Bar Valve’ will require re-alignment. The frequency of re-alignment is too difficult to predict here as several application specific variables need to be taken into consideration.

Part# HC5345, HC5347, HC5348

Applications
• All engines with threaded tilt (steering) tubes complying with ABYC P17/ABYC P21//NMEA/BIA standards for mechanical steering.
• Cylinder attaches to the engine tilt tube as per ABYC/NMEA/BIA standard.
• Single and multiple outboard engine installations.
• Total power to 600 Hp in counter rotating application. (see order guide )
• Typical applications include center console fishboats and cruisers.

Features
• Ease of installation.
• Alternative to Front Mount Cylinder.
• Unbalanced cylinder with 4.8/5.7 turns lock to lock.
• Suitable for installation in shallow splashwells.
• Suitable for use on engines fitted with power steering.

SEASTAR PRO LOCK VALVE SYSTEM

SeaStar PRO’s unique valve system keeps pressures in the two hydraulic lines about equal, so the wheel feels solid and sure at all times.

SeaStar PRO is the only hydraulic steering system uniquely designed to give you maximum steering comfort and control of your high-performance bass boat.

SeaStar PRO has been installed on premium bass boats as original equipment for many years. It’s the ideal upgrade for twin-cable mechanical steering.

 

INTRODUCTION
SmartStick is a non-contact autopilot position sensor that mounts to Teleflex outboard front mount cylinders (HC5345, HC5358*). The new SmartStick models replace the previous generation AR4102 and AR4202 models. There are three new SmartStick models available.

Features
• Non-contact sensing – no moving parts to wear
• Convenient installation – no linkages or external parts to mount
• Electrical components sealed in potting – corrosion resistant

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

SMARTSTICK ENHANCEMENTS INCLUDE

• No external black box – electronics integrated into sensor body, making cable easy to route through rigging with no splicing
• 35’ of cable can be trimmed to any length and jacket is labelled
• Digital Electronics are more immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI) – cleaner signal allows autopilot to perform better
• Installation of sensor is more convenient and faster
• Part Numbers are autopilot specific, no jumpers to cut
• Lower cost

*HC5358 must be installed on Yamaha and Evinrude engines with AR4502 series SmartSticks to ensure adequate clearance. Installing AR4502 series with HC5345 on Yamaha and Evinrude outboards may result in interference between the sensor and the cylinder.

GENERAL INSTALLATION NOTES FOR CHART ABOVE

1) Installation may vary according to the following factors: engine mounting height, transom thickness, use of transom savers, tiller bolt hole location, engine tilt range, and engine size.

2) For center engine drops greater than 3 inches (76mm), please consult Teleflex Technical Service.

3) Tie bar length may vary depending on toe in/toe out setup. To allow for toe, add or subtract from your nominal engine center to center distance.

4) Based on recommended engine manufacturer minimum center to center distances. Deviating from these recommendations may require stroke limiting cylinders and/or engine tilt limiting, please consult Teleflex Technical Service.

5) Cylinder’s must be plumbed in parallel only, no series connections. Only exception is if cylinders are utilizing a liquid tie bar.
