{"product_id":"seastar-dk4220-smartstick-and-gauge-kit-for-marine-jackplate-non-contact-position-sensor","title":"SeaStar SmartStick and Gauge Kit, DK4220, Jackplate Position Sensor and Gauge","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\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 DK4220\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSet Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e SmartStick and Gauge Kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Items:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 x 12 x 12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.4 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSensor Technology:\u003c\/strong\u003e Non-contact piezoelectric magnetostrictive linear sensing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSender Protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully potted for corrosion protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the SeaStar DK4220 SmartStick and Gauge Kit include?\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the SmartStick sensor measure jackplate position?\u003c\/strong\u003e It uses non-contact piezoelectric magnetostrictive linear sensing technology, which gives the DK4220 sensor better robustness and higher positional accuracy than contact-based sensors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the SmartStick sensor protected against corrosion?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the sender in the DK4220 kit is fully potted, which protects the internal sensing components from corrosion in the marine environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the DK4220 gauge match my other SeaStar helm gauges?\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between DK4220 and DK4320?\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need the Accessory Adapter kits along with DK4220?\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the SeaStar SmartStick and Gauge Kit weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The DK4220 kit weighs 1.4 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the packaged dimensions of the DK4220 kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SmartStick and Gauge Kit is packaged in a 12 x 12 x 12 inch box.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the SmartStick and Gauge Kit made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e The DK4220 kit's components are constructed of metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the DK4220 gauge be used without a SeaStar Jackplate?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SmartStick and Gauge Kit, DK4220, is designed to pair with a SeaStar Jackplate system, reading the jackplate's position via the SmartStick sensor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy would I want a position gauge for my jackplate?\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SeaStar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48989347512539,"sku":"TEL-DK4220","price":421.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/DK4220__41521.1722502825.500.750.jpg?v=1785188001","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/seastar-dk4220-smartstick-and-gauge-kit-for-marine-jackplate-non-contact-position-sensor","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
