Boat Steering Hoses & Fittings

Hydraulic steering provides numerous benefits. It makes the steering process much easier, smoother, and more pleasant, especially in medium and large boats equipped with one or several powerful motors. Besides, hydraulics make it possible to install several helm stations in different parts of the vessel. Meanwhile, any hydraulic setup requires quality hoses and fittings responsible for reliable connection. Typically, steering hoses are made of nylon, but in performance-oriented systems, they can be reinforced with aramid fiber or other materials to improve their strength and ability to resist high pressure.

But still, a hose has to be flexible enough, especially if you're going to put it in tight spaces. Thus, it's important to check such characteristics as a minimum bend radius, maximum operating pressure, inner (and probably outer) diameter, and length. Many hoses are of specific length which is not recommended to alter. In our online store, you will find a wide range of boat steering hoses & fittings including bronze and aluminum tees, elbows, specific ORB fittings, and other products available individually or in kits required for certain setups.
