SeaStar Outboard Bulkhead Hose Kit w/Bulkhead Plate
SeaStar Outboard Bulkhead Hose Kit w/Bulkhead Plate, SeaStar HO86 Outboard Bulkhead Hose Kit w/ Stainless Steel Bulkhead PlateSeaStar Bulkhead Hoses are for use where the hydraulic hose is required to pass through a bulkhead. Outboard hoses are supplied with pre-attached hose fittings on both ends. In order to prevent hose kinking, bend restrictors are supplied on one end of each hose in the kit. The end of the hose with the bend restrictor should be attached to the cylinder. SeaStar Steering hoses are a custom multi-layered composite design, engineered specifically for their systems. They are designed to exceed SAE and ABYC specifications and provide precise steering control not achievable with hydraulic industry standard hoses. Includes Two Seastar Bulkhead hoses; SeaStar Stainless Steel Bulkhead Hoses assure a neat and clean steering installation; 316 stainless steel bulkhead plate and 316 stainless steel fittings; Swaged solid fitting connection with an O-ring seal and a metal to metal backup to the primary seal; Kink and Abrasion resistant; Engineered to provide the system with very low thermal expansion properties; Exceeds SAE Specifications and ABYC Specifications; How to Measure Steering Hose with BulkheadBefore ordering you must consider the following areas to ensure that you order the correct length for the cleanest installation: In ALL applications, hydraulic hose/tubing should be secured along the routing path where possible and should not be allowed to hang free in any area where they may become a safety hazard. SeaStar Solutions recommends the use of a rigging tube, PVC piping or conduit for the safe installation and protection of the steering hose/tube. DO NOT install hoses in such a way that they become exposed to high heat areas such as engine components (i.e. manifolds or exhaust components), or in highly corrosive areas such as battery fumes or electrical connections. Each part number contains two hoses of equal length.Single Station, Single Cylinder Measure from center of steering wheel to the starboard side wall.; Measure the intended path of the hoses from the starboard side wall to the center of the engine.; Round UP the measurement to the nearest "even" number and add 2 feet. This is the length of the bulkhead hose kit required.; Single Station, Dual CylinderHose tee fittings to steering cylinders. Measure the intended path of the hoses from the tee fitting to the center of the PORT side engine.; Round UP the measurement to the nearest 'even' number and add 2 feet (0.6m). This is the length of hose kit required.; Notes: Measure from center of the cylinder(s) and helm(s); Some installations require more than 1 hose kit and additional fitting kits.; Minimum bend radius for outboard hose is 21/2" (6 cm).; Outboard cylinders move. They are subject to engine trim & tilt.; Enough slack must be left in the hoses to prevent kinking.;
