    You can go with the Baystar but I would suggest the Seastar Pro

    Seastar with a 5345 cylinder, do not use the Seastar Pro for this application.

    Thanks for the quick post. I won't be using Baystar even though some manufacturers use it with their bass boats. Thanks leo, i will look into that.

    HC5345-3 x1

    Please advise if anyone knows if this is correct.

    I believe there is a kit that will have everything you need including a quart of fluid. Have you looked on the Seastar site?

    I have, I can't find a kit with the Cylinder that Seastar recommends. Can you provide a link, please?

    HK6400A-3 is the kit minus the hoses. You might look at the Uflex Protech 3 kit which I have no experience with but have heard it is less expensive and a good alternative.

    Can anyone give me the best place to buy the kit and hoses? I have found a few online for right at $1k.

    Anyone know of anything local to Chicago, IL?
