SeaStar HC6345-3 Outboard PRO Front Mount Hydraulic Boat Cylinder
The Dometic SeaStar HC63453 is a high-performance, front-mount (pivoting) hydraulic steering cylinder purpose-built for high-speed outboard applications. Engineered to meet the demands of today’s heavier, higher-horsepower engines, the PRO cylinder features a rugged marine-grade body, a new 8-hole end-gland sealing system, and positionable stainless-steel ORB (-5) hose fittings for superior sealing and easier installation.
