Dometic SeaStar Pro Outboard Hose Kit, HO5718, Kevlar Reinforced, 18ft.

SeaStar Solutions' (Formerly Teleflex Marine) is the Leader in Marine Steering Technology. SeaStar PRO Steering Hoses are a custom multi-layered composite design, engineered specifically for SeaStar Steering Systems. They are designed to exceed SAE and ABYC Specifications and provide precise steering control not achievable with hydraulic industry standard hoses. FEATURES: • Custom Multi-Layered Composite Design with Kevlar Reinforcement for Strength • Engineered to provide the Steering System with Very Low Thermal Expansion Properties • Kink and Abrasion Resistant • Factory Swaged Solid Fitting Connection with an O-Ring Seal • Metal to Metal Backup to the Primary Seal • Kits (two equal lengths of hose per kit) are available in 2', 3', 4' 5' lengths AND in 2' increments from 6' to 30'. 40-foot hose kits are special order only. 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 (Part Number HF5508) between the steering cylinder and the rigid tube to provide a flexible connection. • BEFORE ORDERING you must consider the following areas to ensure that you order the correct length for the cleanest installation. In ALL applications, hydraulic hose/tubing should be secured along the routing path where possible and should not be allowed to hang free in any area where they may become a safety hazard. SeaStar Solutions' recommends the use of a rigging tube, PVC piping or conduit for the safe installation and protection of the steering hose/tube. DO NOT install hoses in such a way tht they become exposed to high heat areas such as engine components (i.e. manifolds or exhaust components), or in highly corrosive areas such as battery fumes or electrical connections. Each part number contains two hoses of equal length. • Outboard hoses are supplied with pre-attached hose fittings on both ends. In order to prevent hose kinking, bend restrictors are supplied on one end of each hose in the kit. The end of the hose with the bend restrictor is to be attached to the cylinder. WARNING: DO NOT CUT OUTBOARD HYDRAULIC HOSE. This will destroy the hose. Once cut, there is NO means to field swage fittings to the ends of the hose. WARNING: SeaStar PRO Helm Systems REQUIRE the use of SeaStar PRO (1500 psi) reinforced Kevlar Hoses ONLY. SeaStar products are backed by a two-year recreational user warranty against manufacturing defects. SeaStar Hydraulic Steering Hose is environmentally tested for marine applications.
