So I have a 20 years old seastar on my boat, I bought a new helm and when I tried to hook up the original hydraulic hoses they were too big. Does seastar make an adapter so I do not have to change out my lines and outboard cylinder too. Don't unstated why they would change it with out saying something in the manual.
Thanks a lot,
Archie

Yes my steering has ORB connection and the hose is compression 3/8 fitting. The back of the orb fitting where the hoses are supposed to fit is a 5/16 straight thread which is supposed to take the new type of hose which has an o ring in it.
Thanks
Archie
