Description
SeaStar HO84XX PRO Bulkhead Outboard Kevlar Hose Kits (Pair)
The Dometic SeaStar HO84XX series is the latest generation of PRO Kevlar-reinforced outboard hose kits supplied in bulk packaging. Each kit includes a matched pair of hoses for a single outboard helm-to-cylinder run and bulkhead pass-through hardware for a clean, protected transom installation. HO84XX replaces the earlier boxed HO82XX “Pro Bulkhead” kits with the same premium performance and a more sustainable package format.
Key Features
- PRO Kevlar Construction — high-pressure, low-expansion hoses for precise steering feel
- Bulkhead Pass-Through Included — clean, strain-relieved routing through the transom
- Factory-Crimped Ends — OEM swaged fittings for leak-free reliability
- Corrosion-Resistant Hardware — marine-grade components for long service life
- Direct Upgrade — modern replacement for legacy HO82XX Pro Bulkhead boxed kits
- Bulk Pack — less packaging, easier stocking, same OEM contents
SeaStar Hose Update
- The HO84XX replaces the HO82XX part number. It is the same part, with a new part number and new packaging.
Custom Length & Single Hoses:
- Seatech Marine Products, Inc. is an authorized Dometic Marine SeaStar Hose Manufacturer.
- We can assemble custom SeaStar Hose any length, with either brass or stainless steel fittings (ideal for salt water applications) as well as a single hose rather than the standard 2 hose kit, all with OEM Dometic Marine SeaStar parts.
- Custom hoses cannot be returned.
What’s in the Box
- 2 × SeaStar PRO hoses (length “XX” feet each), factory-crimped ends
- Bulkhead pass-through hardware (grommet/strain-relief & dress components)
- Mounting hardware and installation instructions
Note: For stainless bulkhead covers or field-installable bulkhead kits, see accessories below.

FAQs
Q: Is HO84XX a single hose or a pair?
A: Pair. Each HO84XX kit includes two matched hoses (one supply and one return) plus bulkhead pass-through hardware.
Q: What does “XX” mean in the part number?
A: The hose length in feet (even sizes, e.g., HO8416 = 16 ft).
Q: Can I add a stainless dress cover at the transom?
A: Yes. Use field-installable covers HO7100 (single) or HO7200 (dual) with standard hose kits where desired.
