SeaStar Solutions HA5430H SeaStar/BayStar Hydraulic Steering Fluid, 1 Quart

does what is suppose to do

Orange bottle is pictured in the listing that I purchased. Black sketchy looking bottle is what I received. Hmmm.

I can not verify that this is truly Seastar hydraulic fluid. Label is not correct and looks very generic. For a product that has a nickname of liquid gold ($30 + a quart ), I am not willing to take the chance. Very disappointed as I now have to return and not able to do the job I need to do this weekend. Buyer beware

Was a great product

Hydraulic steering systems are one of reliable solution for many boats. These systems are generally maintenance free and perform well for many years. Using the fluid that is designed for the system will assure compatibly and protection for the various parts of the system. Using the incorrect fluid can lead to degrading of the hoses and seals within the system, costing far more than you saved...

Received last night the bottle of hydraulic steering fluid and didn’t open the box. It had leaked out over everything in the box. Woke up this morning with hydraulic steering fluid all over my kitchen table. Disgusting mess and I don’t know how to even clean it up.

Kind of Expensive but it worked great in my Bay-Star Steering.

The bottles were refilled, and were leaking out in the package.

I feel that it is over priced but because I spent so much on the Sea Star cylinder and Se Star recommends to use ONLY this fluid, I am using it. While it is expensive, I have peace of mind for using it. The steering system works as it should and since I have no leaks and go boating only occasionally, it should provide good service for several years

Its fluid. It exists in a liquid state...works great in your hydraulic steering system.
