The Power Purge and Power Purge,
Jr. are the quickest ways to bleed a
SeaStar or BayStar system and assure
a rock-solid steering feel every time!
Power Purge systems reduce installation
and warranty costs while enhancing the
quality of the boat for the end user. A typical
manual fill and purge takes the average,
experienced installer about 30 minutes per
boat- by using Power Purge this can be
reduced to 10 minutes or less.
Power Purge and Power Purge, Jr. are
available to any business at which SeaStar
is installed by qualified marine hydraulic
steering technicians.
