SeaStar SmartStick and Gauge Kit, DK4220, Jackplate Position Sensor and Gauge

The SeaStar SmartStick and Gauge Kit, DK4220, pairs a jackplate position sensor with a matching analog gauge so the operator can see exact jackplate height at a glance from the helm. The SmartStick sensor uses non-contact piezoelectric magnetostrictive linear sensing technology, which improves sensor robustness and delivers higher positional accuracy than contact-style sensors. The sender is fully potted for corrosion protection, an important feature given its constant exposure to the marine environment around the transom and jackplate assembly. The companion gauge is styled to match the look of the SeaStar Jackplate and SeaStar Steering systems, so the helm presents a coordinated appearance rather than a mismatched aftermarket gauge. This kit ships as a two-piece set (sensor and gauge) and is designed for installation alongside a SeaStar Jackplate, giving boaters a precise, at-a-glance readout of jackplate position to help dial in engine height for speed, fuel economy, and shallow-water running. The DK4220 kit is a dedicated accessory within the SeaStar Jackplate product line, distinct from the separate Gauge and Harness Kit (DK4320) and the port/starboard Accessory Adapters (DK4500P/DK4500S) offered for the same jackplate system.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the SeaStar DK4220 SmartStick and Gauge Kit include? The DK4220 kit ships as a two-piece set: a SmartStick position sensor and a matching analog gauge, sized and styled to be installed together on a SeaStar Jackplate system.

How does the SmartStick sensor measure jackplate position? It uses non-contact piezoelectric magnetostrictive linear sensing technology, which gives the DK4220 sensor better robustness and higher positional accuracy than contact-based sensors.

Is the SmartStick sensor protected against corrosion? Yes, the sender in the DK4220 kit is fully potted, which protects the internal sensing components from corrosion in the marine environment.

Will the DK4220 gauge match my other SeaStar helm gauges? The gauge included in the SmartStick and Gauge Kit is styled to match the look of the SeaStar Jackplate and SeaStar Steering systems for a coordinated helm appearance.

What is the difference between DK4220 and DK4320? DK4220 is the SmartStick and Gauge Kit, which includes the position sensor and gauge, while DK4320 is a separate Gauge and Harness Kit within the same SeaStar Jackplate accessory lineup.

Do I need the Accessory Adapter kits along with DK4220? The Accessory Adapters, Port (DK4500P) and Starboard (DK4500S), are separate parts required specifically for installing the JP4060 accessory, not for the DK4220 SmartStick and Gauge Kit itself.

How much does the SeaStar SmartStick and Gauge Kit weigh? The DK4220 kit weighs 1.4 pounds.

What are the packaged dimensions of the DK4220 kit? The SmartStick and Gauge Kit is packaged in a 12 x 12 x 12 inch box.

What is the SmartStick and Gauge Kit made of? The DK4220 kit's components are constructed of metal.

Can the DK4220 gauge be used without a SeaStar Jackplate? The SmartStick and Gauge Kit, DK4220, is designed to pair with a SeaStar Jackplate system, reading the jackplate's position via the SmartStick sensor.

Why would I want a position gauge for my jackplate? A position gauge, like the one in the DK4220 kit, lets the operator see the exact jackplate height at the helm, making it easier to dial in engine height for speed, fuel economy, and shallow-water running.
