Instead of accessing the fill port directly at the helm, this kit routes the fill connection to a spot that is easier to reach during service or better hidden from view for a cleaner installation. This kit is compatible with all SeaStar helms, making it a straightforward upgrade or addition for any SeaStar hydraulic steering system regardless of helm model. It is a simple, purpose-built accessory designed to simplify routine fluid top-offs and system bleeding by giving installers and boat owners flexible access to the fill point without having to work directly at the helm unit itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e SeaStar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e HA6450\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Helm Remote Fill Kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Helm Pumps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.42 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e All SeaStar helms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 731957895134\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompatible with all SeaStar helms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the SeaStar HA6450 Remote Fill Kit do?\u003c\/strong\u003e It allows relocation of your SeaStar helm fill to either a more convenient or a more concealed location, so you are not limited to filling directly at the helm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this kit work with my SeaStar helm?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the HA6450 Remote Fill Kit can be used with all SeaStar helms, so it fits regardless of which SeaStar helm model is installed on your boat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the HA6450 Remote Fill Kit weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SeaStar HA6450 Remote Fill Kit weighs 0.42 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy would I want to relocate my helm fill point?\u003c\/strong\u003e Relocating the fill point with the HA6450 kit lets you position it somewhere more convenient to access during service, or somewhere more concealed for a cleaner look at the helm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the HA6450 a genuine SeaStar part?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, HA6450 is the SeaStar manufacturer part number for this Helm Remote Fill Kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this kit work with BayStar helms?\u003c\/strong\u003e The HA6450 kit is specified for use with all SeaStar helms; SeaStar does not list BayStar helm compatibility for this kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat category of part is the HA6450?\u003c\/strong\u003e The HA6450 is listed under Helm Pumps as a SeaStar Helm Remote Fill Kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this kit be used on any boat with SeaStar steering?\u003c\/strong\u003e Since the HA6450 Remote Fill Kit works with all SeaStar helms, it can be used on any boat equipped with a SeaStar helm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the UPC for the SeaStar HA6450 kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The UPC for the SeaStar Helm Remote Fill Kit, part number HA6450, is 731957895134.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs installation of the HA6450 kit simple?\u003c\/strong\u003e The HA6450 is designed to relocate the helm fill point to a more convenient or concealed location, making it a straightforward add-on for existing SeaStar helm installations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SeaStar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48989347807451,"sku":"TEL-HA6450","price":63.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/tel-ha6450_lg__70352.1558180226.500.750.jpg?v=1785188387"},{"product_id":"seastar-ha5438-bottle-filler-kit-for-hydraulic-steering-helms-fill-tube-and-vent-push-pin","title":"SeaStar Hydraulic Steering Bottle Filler Kit, HA5438, for Outboard and Inboard\/Outboard Helms","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe SeaStar HA5438 Bottle Filler Kit is a plastic fill-tube accessory used to bleed and fill SeaStar hydraulic steering systems.
