Uflex 12-Foot Two-Hose Hydraulic Hose Kit

The Uflex Kit OB is a pair of 12 foot high pressure hydraulic hoses with preassembled ORFS fittings on both ends, for a single station installation.

Twelve feet is the short kit in the OB range, suiting a small outboard boat where the helm sits close to the transom and the run is direct. Getting the length right matters beyond tidiness. Excess hose adds a little flex to a hydraulic circuit, and that shows up as slight sponginess at the wheel rather than a crisp response.

Fittings are ORFS and crimped at the factory rather than assembled on site, which is what keeps a high pressure steering circuit leak free. Measure the actual route including every bend rather than the straight-line distance, since hose follows stringers and bulkheads. Explore more hydraulic hoses and fittings.
