SeaStar HC5347-3 Outboard Front Mount Cylinder (115-130HP Honda)
The Dometic SeaStar HC53473 is a high-performance, front-mount (pivoting) hydraulic steering cylinder designed for demanding outboard installations-including heavy single, twin, or triple engine setups. Like the rest of SeaStar’s upgraded -3 lineup, this model features enhanced corrosion resistance, a robust 8-bolt end-gland sealing system, and positionable stainless-steel -5 ORB hose fittings for cleaner routing and easier installation.
Engineered to exceed the performance of legacy models like the HC5347, the HC5347-3 is a direct replacement with upgraded internals and fittings-perfect for offshore boats, performance hulls, or repowers involving high-output outboards. It pairs seamlessly with all SeaStar helm pumps, tilt helms, and power assist units, delivering smooth, precise hydraulic control at any speed.
