Hydraulic steering systems for outboard boats have several advantages, including increased control, and reduced operator fatigue due to less torque steer, durability, and less force required to turn the wheel.
 
Our Hydraulic Outboard Steering Flexible Hose Kits are a component of our complete steering systems and also replace SeaStar and UFlex hoses and hydraulic lines.
 
Please specify the hose length needed for your boat. Our price includes a pair of; 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, or 20-foot flexible hydraulic hoses to reach from your cylinder mounted on the tilt pin to your helm.
 
Includes two (2) hoses.
 
350HP and 700HP kits, 22 to 46-foot Hose Lines, Bulk bulkhead fittings/Hoses; Twin, Triple, and Quad set-ups are also available. Helms and Cylinders are available standalone.
 
How to Measure Hydraulic Steering Hoses for a Boat - Follow these simple steps to measure hydraulic hoses for your boat’s steering system. Below are two methods on how to measure distances and calculate the line length:
 
A: Measure from the boat's wheel’s center to the gunwale (or deck if the hose goes downward).
 
B: Measure from the dashboard to the transom (back of the boat).
 
C: Measure from the gunwale to the cylinder’s centerline at the outboard engine tillar.
 
Add 24 inches to the total hose length for flexibility.
 
Round the final hydraulic hose length up to the next even foot to determine your required steering hose lengths.
 
Alternative Method! Use a garden hose to trace the path from the steering wheel helm to the outboard engine, and then measure the hose length.
 
It's important to leave enough slack to avoid kinks and sharp bends in the boat hull while leaving a bit of line to move with the outboard engine. Check by moving the tiller from stop to stop in the swivel pin. This ensures smooth steering and a hassle-free installation!
