Seastart Hydraulic Steering - Bleeding

Hi - what size hose (inner diameter) do I need to connect to the beed tees on Seastar hydraulic steering system so I can bleed it? Not near the RIB so can't measure and Seastar manual is silent on the topic.

Thx

I recently purchased one of these, fantastic bit of kit, takes a bit of time but it’s very straight forward.

Not sure if this would work with the Ts

More questions

Hi Guys

Sorry for hijacking this thread, I am about to go through the same process but my steering is Hydrive. The connectors are as per the picture below, can anyone say if these are the same as the Seastar, am I safe to buy the Seastar bleed kit?

Thanks

Andy
