SeaStar Outboard Bulkhead Hydraulic Hose Kit - MW
SeaStar HO81 Series Outboard Bulkhead Hydraulic Hose Kit
SeaStar 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 our systems. They are designed to exceed SAE and ABYC specifications and provide precise steering control not achievable with hydraulic industry standard hoses.
- Two Seastar Bulkhead hoses
- Integral bulkhead fitting for tidy routing of hoses through a splashwell bulkhead
- Integral bulkhead fitting eliminates excess loose hose, kinking, and chafing
- Can be used with all SeaStar and BayStar Steering Systems
How to Measure Steering Hose with Bulkhead
Before 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 Cylinder
Hose 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 2–1/2” (6 cm).
- Outboard cylinders move. They are subject to engine trim & tilt.
- Enough slack must be left in the hoses to prevent kinking.
