Well, think I got it now.
I got an extra hole though. Had to 90 the fill and move it up to allow for a clear fill tube. Seastar tech support told me to change it.
I spent like 3 days making the hole nice. Hehe
Now, no room behind it. Gonna cover it somehow, maybe an eject button.!!

Re: Woods Skoota 32DM
Some of the seastar helms are mounted on the front and some on the back. Some of the holes are blind holes AND if the bolts are over 3/8" penetration; they will blow the helm open by making a thru hole. Then you will have leaking at the helm itself. So did I. But I have been super careful about the helm bolts.Jaysen wrote: ↑Wed Apr 20, 2022 5:08 pm Tape all the threads like you would any other perm low-ish pressure hydraulic system fittings. I just had to rip apart a mess someone made using 4200. I don’t recommend that if you don’t want to buy all the parts again.
Im fighting with a seastar helm as well. Something is leaking but I can’t find it. Hoping I don’t need to recommend new rams. I’m not seeing any leaking from the seals though.
This is a fairly common problem on used boats as the next dork down the line doesn't keep a washer or some special spacing considerations for the original setup.

Got the helm bench attached and got a t-mobile hotspot for the boat security cams.
The seat had some weird looking tears...not sure about whether to stand on the upholsterer

Re: Woods Skoota 32DM
Well, work continues.
We got about 5 days of 70F in a row. Halleluja!
Sanding these dungeons today. This side done, ready for minimal fairing Second 8 fuse block added to helm. 16 available for 20amp misc feeds
Custom shower drain with threads made from a fitting. I got hours into this. Needs caulk on top. Bath sink drain. It opens to heater closet, thus light shines thru. Temp controlled vent for helm station. Kitchen sink drain.
