SeaStar Nylon Steering Tube 3/8 Inch, 100 Foot Length - HT5100

The SeaStar HT5100 is a 100 foot continuous length of nylon tubing used for hydraulic steering line installations. Supplied as one unbroken 100 foot (30.4 meter) roll, it lets installers run long steering lines without field splices or extra fittings, which keeps the hydraulic circuit cleaner and reduces potential leak points along the run. The tube has a 3/8 inch outside diameter and a nominal wall thickness of 0.375 inches, sized for use with SeaStar hydraulic steering system tubing runs.

Constructed from nylon, the tubing is built to hold up to the routing, bending, and clamping involved in a typical helm-to-cylinder steering installation. Because it ships as a single continuous length rather than pre-cut sections, it is well suited to boats needing a longer or custom-length run, or for shops that cut tubing to length for multiple installations. This is genuine SeaStar tubing, sold under the SeaStar brand.
