A very long story short as I can, I did use this system, it's an excellent system. I ordered the whole kit and hose from an on-line vendor and had it drop shipped to my tech who was doing the instal. They first sent just the cylinder and the hose (what I'm selling here but I ordered the bulkhead mount hose) and not the full kit with the helm pump. After calling to notify them of the error I thought they would just send the pump and correct hose but the guy said he was sending me the whole kit and I could return the other stuff. I did receive the correct kit and correct hose and it was installed. Then I proceeded to call them several times to arrange the return and they kept giving me different excuses why they hadn't contacted me back etc....it was very strange, like they just wanted it/me to go away? After several more attempts to return it I gave up and just sat on these items figuring at some point they would do inventory or Y/E inventory and finally realize they needed to get it back. Never happened, and they never charged me again so now I have this set I don't need so I figured I'd just sell it at a deal and use the money for boat stuff? It's completely new in box never attempted to mount. This is a top of the line high performance unit. Wart used one on his boat. Can't believe nobody wants it. Cylinder alone goes for over $600 easy. Oh well... I put it on Craigslist too.
