The power steering pump is a belt-driven or electric-driven hydraulic pump that generates the hydraulic pressure needed to provide power steering assist. It develops output pressures of 1,000 PSI or more. The pump output is directed to the steering gear, often a rack and pinion type unit, where the hydraulic pressure pushes on the steering rack, greatly reducing the effort it would otherwise take to turn the steering wheel.
On average, the cost for a Chevrolet Tracker Power Steering Pump Replacement is $302 with $207 for parts and $95 for labor. Prices may vary depending on your location.

Overview
With mechanical steering you sacrifice a degree of comfort, and traditional hydraulic systems may be more than is needed on lower horsepower engines. The solution is finally here—BayStar!
Built in the tradition of the industry leading hydraulic steering, SeaStar, BayStar brings the same safety and comfort now common on larger outboard powered boats to outboard powered boats with a maximum 150 HP (total) or less.
SeaStar outboard hydraulic steering offers a very extensive range of engine and steering system alternatives. This guide will assist you in the selection of the steering system best suited to your boat.
Selecting the Outboard Steering System best suited for your boat:
1. Locate the type of boat you have in column A of the chart below.
2. From the chart, select the steering system best suited to your boat. You may want to review the specific features for each system.
3. Select from links on the right for a detailed component selection.

We all love the water, but the water can be very unkind to our equipment.
Your Mercury outboard is built using space-age alloys and coatings to resist rust and corrosion, but it still requires some attention every now and then, especially to its steering components and transom assembly. Just a little grease and light oil applied as demonstrated in this Mercury Quick Tip will not only help your engine have a long, trouble-free life, it will also ensure your steering is smooth and responsive every time you hit the water.
To locate the exact service points on your Mercury outboard and to see the factory-recommended lubrication intervals, please consult your owner’s manual. more
SeaStar hydraulicsteering system is the most common steering system found on outboard motors. The Yamaha system is the same and Uflex is very similar and for our purposes the same system. It is a good system but as with any hydralic system, the weakness is in the shaft seals. If you have a boat with hydraulicsteering, you WILL need to replace the cylinder seals at some point.
First signs of failure is oil leaking from the cylinder, on the piston rod and transom. One air gets into the cylinder you will feel vague or spongy steering. If left to disrepair, you will damage the cylinder and even loose steering. Not something to mess with. Once the seals start to leak, know that they are not going to get better, best to do it now and save time and money later.
At the shop this is a $500 job and of course, the shop may not work into your boating schedule so DIY is the way to go to get yourself back on the water. more
