[JB] [JB] Type II Hydraulic Hose Specs Question

[Jules - Raymarine - Moderator]

Hello Phil,

You certainly don't want any kinks in a hydraulic hose as that's certainly the beginning of a failure before the system even starts operating.

Specifications on hydraulic drives can be found here Raymarine Drive Unit Selection

The Hydraulic Pump Installation Manual mentions 1/4" BSP bonded rubber/metal seals and if required 1/4" BSP to 1/4" NPT adapters are in the kit. As the vessel steering relies so heavily on a hydraulics system it is best that a hydraulic industry professional be consulted on correctly fitting components.

Happy boating and kind regards
Jules
