Mrmojorisan Posted April 20, 2023 Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 I've got a RF 18 with seastar hydraulic steering and I want to change my steering wheel to a tilt wheel. Does that require a certain tilt adapter to work with seastar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrmojorisan Posted April 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 Nevermind... I figured it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marathon Man Posted April 20, 2023 Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 You will need a different helm. The tilt model. To my knowledge the straight shaft helm cannot be economically adapted to a tilt model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyB Posted April 22, 2023 Report Share Posted April 22, 2023 You will love the tilt. I put a tilt Baystar helm on my 16 Redfisher, I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have seastar hydraulic steering? Does it hook up to the seastar system? Seastar is pretty proud of their helms pricewise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyB Posted May 22, 2023 Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 I have the bay star system. I actually found a tilt helm for the Baystar. I bought the entire kit with tilt helm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fin-addict Posted May 23, 2023 Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 Rather than a tilt you could switch out the oem helm to an angled one for just a few dollars. I looked into this awhile back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tender Posted May 23, 2023 Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 I was looking at buying a tilt helm and ended up doing this instead. It is a 20° wedge that fits to your standard helm. https://www.amazon.com/SeaStar-degree-Dash-Mount-Wedge/dp/B0000AXYNB/ref=pd_ybh_a_sccl_10/146-7736887-2205260?pd_rd_w=6kpv0&content-id=amzn1.sym.67f8cf21-ade4-4299-b433-69e404eeecf1&pf_rd_p=67f8cf21-ade4-4299-b433-69e404eeecf1&pf_rd_r=RDQ7PGETBXCY30BSEDCY&pd_rd_wg=va1jn&pd_rd_r=7cb7d904-8534-4185-8493-af329207432b&pd_rd_i=B0000AXYNB&psc=1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
