I appreciate the input. I cleaned all oil then physically layed underneath the helm and watched the leak. The pic is 90 degrees off. with the angle of the helm fluid was leaking from yellow plug and tracking down the back of helm pump then out onto the 90 degree hose fittings.
I will update when new pump is in2019 Crestliner 240 Rally DX CWDH Tritoon Merc 200 DTS

So I pulled helm and resealed everything. Those yellow plastic plugs still have a drip.
With the plug out I can see what I assume is some sort of a bypass or check valve maybe for a dual station/helm setup.
When turning the wheel normally with the plug out no fluid is seen but as soon as I hit the extent of the steering and give a bit more turn pressure it will spit fluid out.
Obviously turning the wheel with the boat on the lift is minimal pressure but at speed and turning im sure there is much more pressure on this valve and that is causing it to leak.
I dont think going from a plastic to a metal plug is the correct solution, I think whatever that valve is has failed.
Can anyone confirm what those 2 ports are with the plugs.2019 Crestliner 240 Rally DX CWDH Tritoon Merc 200 DTS

I know it's not what you have, but on the Hynautic helms there is a third "bypass" hose that goes back to the hydraulic reservoir... if you turn past the range of the cylinder the excess pressure "blows off" and the fluid goes back to the reservoir.
I don't know how many different "SeaStar/Hynautic" helms are set up to be used on the Hynautic-style system though.Last edited by David - WI; 05-07-2021 at 08:37 AM.

This system appears to be a teleflex with quicksilver tags on it.
Whats weird is its a 3 bolt flange instead of the common 4.
Im heading back to the dealer today and discuss this, hoping to talk to a tech.2019 Crestliner 240 Rally DX CWDH Tritoon Merc 200 DTS

Plastics can have a very small crack that's not visible under normal inspection. If it's leaking after being sealed it must be cracked.

agreed, but under full load turning id bet there is 500 to 750 psi at the helm/lines, no way plastic would hold that back.
I think Im just going to ask them to split a sea star pro system with me.2019 Crestliner 240 Rally DX CWDH Tritoon Merc 200 DTS

Just for the hell of it, Ill pull that yellow plug and go get a few brass ones if I can find one to match.
These yellow plugs have an o ring at the base of the head, I dont think they were NPT but im hoping.
Ill throw 2 brass ones in there and see what happens.2019 Crestliner 240 Rally DX CWDH Tritoon Merc 200 DTS

I've only ever seen those plugs used as shipping plugs, to be replaced with metal or corresponding hose upon install.
If there is a machined boss under the lip of the plug to accept the o ring then there most likely straight thread pipe, ORB, o ring boss. which would be strange to have when the others are clearly tapered pipe. I wouldn't expect both types on the same helm.
If no boss then standard pipe plugs will work. They may even work in the straight thread better than the plastic, but won't be 100% correct.ANTI40It's just an idea.
