10.1 SeaStar hose/tube 10 Hose and Fittings
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. SeaStar Hoses are engineered to provide the system with very low thermal expansion properties and are kink and abrasion resistant. Our hoses also feature a swaged solid fitting connection with an O-ring seal and a metal to metal backup to the primary seal. Due to performance and safety concerns, SeaStar Solutions recommends that only SeaStar or SeaStar PRO steering hoses be used in SeaStar Steering Systems. It is recommended for hose lengths over 30ft that SeaStar PRO hose is used. Tubing/hose The tubing or hose requirements depend on the type of steering system being considered. Please double check the application in which you are using as in some cases nylon or copper tube is not to be used.
WARNING! Do not cut outboard hydraulic hose.

Outboards, inboards, SeaStar power assist, or sterndrive cylinder # HC5332
Outboard Hose
Table 10-1.
CAUTION! Do not use nylon tubing in outboard and/or power assist steering applications. General considerations In most hydraulic steering installations the cylinder body moves as the motor, outdrive or tiller arm is articulated. Provide sufficient hose length to allow full-uninterrupted steering motion including trim and tilt. If your splashwell is rated for a dual engine application or you are mounting the engines on a gill bracket you must provide enough steering hose to rig either twin or single engines. Inboard or sterndrive steering installations that use 3/8” copper or extruded nylon tube must have a swaged hydraulic hose kit (# HF5508) between the steering cylinder and the rigid tube to provide a flexible connection. WARNING! Do not use extruded nylon tubing with SeaStar outboard cylinder, HC5332, sterndrive cylinders and/or SeaStar power assist applications.
