The HS5154 seal kit should be stocked alongside this unit for customers performing a full service or rebuild. Confirm the customer's existing helm pump displacement and hose routing before ordering — cylinder displacement must be matched to the helm for proper lock-to-lock turns. If the customer is running a dual-station setup, verify that the second helm pump is also rated for this cylinder's displacement.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LNS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51199425773604,"sku":"1-HC53283","price":1212.59,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5799\/7604\/files\/1-HC5332.jpg?v=1785605231","url":"https:\/\/marisolmarine.com\/products\/seastar-hc5328-3-sterndrive-8-stroke-8-3-cubic-inch-cylinder-model-ba125-8em-hs5154-seal-kit-1-hc53283","provider":"Marisol Marine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
