    SeaStar Power Assist Steering - placement - wire lengths

    This is a follow up post from yesterday. I did verify that my 21 SLX has the Sea Star hydraulic steering. I contacted Sea Star and they have 3 different pumps. All of them are the same except for the cord length back to the batteries. I have a dual battery setup, with the batteries located on...

    2015 21SLX - Hydraulic Steering Question

    Thanks - I am going to take a look and see how I can run the lines. I am going to order the pump and do the install myself. I am 99% sure I have the SeaStar system, but will double check next weekend. Thanks for all of the help.

    Pontoon Basics: Introduction to steering systems for pontoons, including hydraulic and power assist

    Looks like the pump install is not that bad. I need to look around my boat and see where the hydraulic lines are run from the cylinder to the helm. Did you mount your pump in the compartment underneath the helm?

    2015 21SLX - Hydraulic Steering Question

    I finally got my new (to me) boat out this weekend. Its a 21 SLX Tritoon with the Yamaha 150 and hydraulic steering. The steering was very sluggish and the wheel was difficult to turn at speed as well as idle. I have read some posts regarding the power wire for the pump not being connected. Is...

    Finally got to check out the new 21SLX

    Ok - I finally got over to the dealer to check out the 2015 21 SLX that I purchased. I have purchased a few boats from this guy so I trusted his description. The boat was nicer in person. Took it out for a quick ride on Lake Lanier. Its a 40mph+ boat, but it was too cold today to test it. The...

    Headed out tomorrow to pick it up. Taking directly to the Bennington dealer to have a look at the seam. Also having them install an updated Garmin unit. I will post some pics when I get it. Thanks for all of the input.

    Thank you for the reply. According to my dealer, the boat has the SPS package. Not sure on the Elliptical. Can someone verify if this motor is ok on the boat? I'm supposed to pick it up Thursday

    My understanding is that the boat is rated for 150hp max with the tritoon and SPS package.

    Thanks for the reply. I will definitely take a closer look at the seam. It does look weird.

    I meant to add - I paid $30k for the boat. It does have the Simrad Chartplotter/Fishfinder with sonar - not sure if I really need it, but its a nice option. He had it mounted on a RAM mount on the right/outside of the helm. I noticed that there is a switch for a livewell. I don't think my boat...

    Thanks - is there anyway to find out what options are on the boat using the hull ID? I know there were options for LED Lights and a few other things.

    Hello - I recently purchased a 2015 21 SLX. I have a Tige Surf boat, but was looking for something to cruise the lake. Also wanted something that is easier for my wife to drive around the lake. I have not picked up the boat yet, hopefully this week. I have a ton of questions, but will wait until...
