Hoses:

General Hose Considerations: In most hydraulic steering installations the cylinder body moves as the motor, outdrive, or tiller arm is articulated. Provide sufficient hose length to alow full-uninterrupted steering motion including trim and tilt. If your splashwell is rated for a dual engine application or your are mounting the engines on a gill bracket you must provide enough steering hose to rig either twin or single engines.

How to measure hoses (standard hoses): 

Helm to steering cylinder:

1. Measure from the center of the steering wheel to the starboard side wall.
2. Measure the intended path of the hoses from the starboard side wall to the center of the engine
3. Round UP the measurement ot the nearest 'even' number and add two feet. This is the length of hose kit required
4. Choose the appropriate hose lenght from the drop down above labeled hydraulic steering hoses

How to measure hoses (Bulkhead fitting hoses)

Helm to steering cylinder:

1. Measure from the center of the steering wheel to the starboard side wall
2. Measure the intended path of the hoses from the starboard side wall the center of the engine
3. round UP the measurement to the nearest even number and add two feet.
