BOAT STEERING REBUILDERS LLC TO PROVIDE COMPLETE REBUILD SERVICE FOR TELEFLEX BAYSTAR®, SEASTAR® AND SEASTAR PRO® HYDRAULIC STEERING SYSTEMS Rebuild Option Allows Dealers To Address Repairs Without Investment In Special Tools And Test Equipment, Provide Added Value – and Savings – to Customers

Most boats on the water today powered by more than 100 horsepower are equipped with hydraulic steering. When a boater brings a dealer a problem with this important system, typically a leaky cylinder or helm, a tech can take one of two routes. Either he can replace the seals and see if that fixes the problem, or he can recommend replacement with a new unit. Now thereʼs a third option, having the unit rebuilt by Boat Steering Rebuilders, LLC. Butch Castleberry, owner of Boat Steering Rebuilders, knows his stuff when it comes to hydraulics. With more than 30 years of experience in the design, operation, repair and remanufacture of hydraulic systems, including recent training at Teleflex Marineʼs Hydraulic Steering facility in Richmond, BC, Castleberry knows that there could be internal problems that were not being addressed with a simple seal repair job. “In many cases, a leak can be a symptom of a more serious problem,” said Castleberry. “A rebuild, professionally done, can not only return a system to original spec, but also extend the life of the existing system, oftentimes providing an extra five to seven years of use.” Boat Steering Rebuilders will offer their rebuild service directly to marine dealers. Steering ram assemblies and helm pumps will be removed by a dealerʼs technician and sent to Boat Steering Rebuilders shop located in Adkins, TX. Once the original parts are logged in, they are disassembled and each component is cleaned, analyzed and tested. May 4, 2011

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Worn, bent or damaged components are replaced with new, factory-fresh parts, all internal fluid reservoirs are thoroughly cleaned and new seals and seats are inserted. Rebuilt systems are charged with fresh oil, and bench tested to rated pressure levels to assure satisfactory performance and sent back to the dealer who can then reinstall the parts and deliver the boat to the customer. In addition to potentially saving the consumer the cost of buying a new ram or helm, Boat Steering Rebuilders can also save the dealer time and money. Techs can simply remove the steering ram and/or helm and ship it Boat Steering Rebuilders. There is no need to invest in special test equipment and tools. In addition, dealers can then concentrate on other repairs to get a customers boat back in the water more quickly. The cost of a rebuilt ram or helm is usually about half the cost of buying a new unit and turnaround time for Boat Steering Rebuilders is typically five to seven days. Dealers are advised via phone of any unforeseen problems. Once a system is repaired and tested, it is packaged and shipped back via FedEx or UPS. (The cost of shipping is included in the rebuild price.) Rebuilt steering rams and helms carry a one-year limited warranty.
