Outboard Rigging Protection
2" Black Outboard Rigging Tube - RIGTUBE-B
RIGTUBE-B is a 2" black marine rigging tube sold by the foot for organizing and protecting the hoses, wiring and cables routed between the boat and an outboard engine.
Rigging tube gives the exposed engine-rigging bundle a cleaner appearance while helping protect the individual components from abrasion, UV exposure, snagging and general movement around the transom.
Pro Marine also stocks a white 2" version, transom flanges, a fuel-port flange, a 2" rigging hose union, split conduit and wrappable braided rigging tube.
Inside Diameter: 2"
Color: Black
Sold: By the Foot
Application: Outboard Engine Rigging
Use: Organizes and Protects Cables, Wiring and Hoses
What Rigging Tube is Used For
Outboard rigging tube is used to cover and organize the group of components that runs from the boat's transom to the engine.
Depending on the boat and engine, the rigging bundle may contain:
- Engine wiring harnesses
- Battery cables
- Control cables
- Fuel hose
- Hydraulic steering hoses
- Gauge and network wiring
- Trim and accessory wiring
- Other engine-related hoses and cables
Instead of leaving these components exposed individually, rigging tube keeps them grouped together and provides a more finished installation.
Why Use Outboard Rigging Tube?
Rigging components are constantly exposed to engine movement, steering movement, vibration, sun and the marine environment. A proper rigging sleeve helps keep the bundle organized while adding a layer of physical protection.
Benefits include:
- Cleaner transom appearance
- Groups multiple cables and hoses together
- Helps reduce abrasion between individual rigging components
- Helps protect wiring and hoses from snagging
- Makes engine-compartment and transom rigging easier to organize
- Can simplify future inspection and service
Do not install rigging tube so tightly that it limits the engine's steering, trim or tilt movement.
Leave enough length and routing flexibility for the engine to turn fully from side to side and move through its normal trim and tilt range without pulling on the wiring, fuel hose, steering hoses or control cables.

Rigging Tube Installation Tips
- Measure the rigging bundle before selecting tubing size.
- Allow enough space inside the tube so cables and hoses are not crushed.
- Leave sufficient length for full steering movement.
- Verify that trim and tilt movement does not pull on the rigging bundle.
- Avoid extremely tight bends in fuel hose, hydraulic hose and control cables.
- Keep wiring away from sharp edges where it enters or exits the rigging tube.
- Use a transom flange for a clean entry point into the boat.
- Inspect older tubing for cracking, splitting or abrasion.
- Use split conduit or braided wrap when removing existing rigging is impractical.
When Should Rigging Tube Be Replaced?
Outboard rigging tube lives in a high-movement, high-UV area of the boat. Over time it can become worn or damaged.
Consider replacement if you notice:
- Cracking or splitting
- Tears in the tube
- Severe fading or UV deterioration
- Chafing through the outer surface
- Tube separating from the transom flange
- Rigging components becoming exposed
- A tube that is too short after an engine or steering change
Black vs. White Rigging Tube
Pro Marine offers the 2" traditional rigging tube in both black and white.
Choose the color that best matches the boat, engine and transom rigging. Both options provide the same basic function of grouping and protecting the exposed rigging bundle.
