Selection Guide
SeaStar Outboard hoses are available in kit’s (includes two hoses)
ranging in length from 2’ – 30’. Hydraulic Hose must be protected
from chaffing and any possible contact or interference with assembly
screws or sharp edges of any type.
The Hydraulic hoses should be secured along the routing path
wherever possible and should not be allowed to hang free in any
area where they could become a safety hazard. Teleflex Canada
Limited Partnership recommends the use of a rigging tube, PVC
piping or conduit for the safe secure installation of hydraulic hoses.
Do not install hoses in such a way that they may become exposed
to high heat areas such as engine components (i.e.; manifold or
exhaust components) or highly corrosive areas such as battery
fumes or electrical connections.
Continuous kinking, chaffing, rubbing or twisting may eventually
weaken hose(s) to a point where it could rupture from normal
steering pressure causing loss of steering, resulting in personal or
property damage. Visually inspect all hoses and fittings for wear
and or damage as part of your regular annual maintenance. Replace
any hose or components suspect of excessive wear.
Measuring Hose Lengths
SEASTAR OUTBOARD HOSE
1 Measure from the center of the steering wheel to the Starboard
side wall.
2 Measure form the Starboard side wall to the transom.
3 Measure form the transom into the center of the engines (if this
is a twin engine twin cylinder application please measure to the
center of the Port side engine.)
4 Add up the above three measurements, round up to the nearest
even number, then add two feet. This is the length of hose
required for your application.
Correct hose length is crucial to
the operation of your SeaStar
steering system, please be sure
that you take all the following
measurements correctly to avoid
damage to the steering hose.
