Customer Reviews for VEVOR Hydraulic Outboard Steering Kit 300HP, Hydraulic Steering Kit Helm Pump, Hydraulic Boat Steering Kit with 16 Feet Hydraulic Steering Hose for Boat Steering System

No where in any of the 300hp kit descriptions does it list the size of the helm pump. Since it looked like the 1.7 cubic inch displacement and 4.9 turns lock to lock. they sell I thought it was that one. But no! they put a 1.1 displacement or smaller in the kit, It has 8.5 to 9 turns lock to lock. Thats unacceptable for a bass boat running 60+ mph. To turn a little you have to turn the wheel a half turn. Thats way to much and dangerous. My cable steering was 3.5 turns lock to lock Seastar pro 2.4 is 3.5 turns so I ordered that.,Hopefully the hoses and cylinder will hold up to it, but if they don't then its seastar for them. I'm highly disappointed and vevor won't do anything. They would refund if I pay shipping, However they refunded me $100 if I keep it, so I did. The wheel definitely turns easy but you going to be doing a lot of spinning with this kit.

This is the worst experience that I have ever went through. Their product didn’t work. Then it took several weeks to get a refund. I will never ever buy another product from this manufacturer!!!!

Be prepared for quality variations and problems. The kit is otherwise of reasonable quality for the price, but the steering pump that came with my 300hp kit makes a loud noise when turning left. Also, there is a 5-7cm gap before the engine reacts even though the system has been bled several times, the gap is not due to air but is a characteristic of the pump. The warranty does not cover it, it is said to be harmless. Buy a steering kit from a well-known, high-quality brand so you don't have to worry about quality problems or warranty problems. Now I have to throw the Vevor pump on the shelf and buy a higher-quality pump from another manufacturer instead.

It looked great comming out of the box! Installed well, however after the third time using it fluid started shooting out of one of the fittings on the ram. The fitting had cracked and when I went to look at it the fitting snapped off in my hand.
