Flexible Hydraulic Steering Hose Kit
Pro Marine PROHHOSE Hydraulic Steering Hose Kit
The Pro Marine PROHHOSE Hydraulic Steering Hose Kit is designed for marine hydraulic steering applications and is available in hose lengths from 1 foot to 30+ feet.
These flexible hydraulic steering hoses are compatible with many standard hydraulic steering systems including Pro Marine, SeaStar®, Uflex®, and similar front-mount hydraulic steering setups.
What Hydraulic Steering Hoses Do
Hydraulic steering hoses transfer steering fluid between the helm pump and steering cylinder. As the steering wheel is turned, hydraulic pressure moves through the hoses to operate the steering cylinder and turn the outboard engine.
Proper hose length and routing are critical for smooth steering operation, engine movement, jack plate travel, and safe hydraulic steering performance.
