It's a strong value kit — everything is included except hoses, so always confirm the customer orders the correct hose set for their installation at the same time. Key qualification questions: single engine only, single helm station only, and not for high-performance or high-speed hulls. If the customer has a larger engine, dual engines, or wants dual-station capability, step them up to the SeaStar HK64004 kit instead. Verify the engine has an ABYC standard tilt tube before confirming compatibility. The compact cylinder is a practical fit for most standard splashwells, but confirm minimum splashwell dimensions (5\" H × 6\" D × 21\" W) if the customer has an unusual transom layout.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LNS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51199425675300,"sku":"1-HK43004","price":1627.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5799\/7604\/files\/1-HK43004.jpg?v=1785605229","url":"https:\/\/marisolmarine.com\/products\/dometic-hk43004-baystar-compact-hydraulic-steering-system-no-hose-1-hk43004","provider":"Marisol Marine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
