Description
UFlex UP28FM Front Mount Helm Pump is a high-performance hydraulic steering helm designed by Uflex USA. It serves as a direct, seamless "drop-in" replacement for SeaStar® helm pumps, making it a popular choice for boaters looking to upgrade or repair their existing marine steering systems.
Technical Specifications
- Displacement: 1.7 cubic inches (28 cc) per revolution.
- Pistons: 5-piston configuration with a ball bearing piston race for smooth operation.
- Shaft size: 3/4" tapered stainless steel shaft (standard for most marine steering wheels).

Features
- Built-In Lock Valve: Features an integrated lock valve that delivers positive rudder lock, preventing the engine torque from forcing the steering wheel to turn on its own.
