Each kit includes two hoses of equal length, 16 feet each, for a combined 32 feet of hose. The hose uses a custom multi-layered composite nylon construction with Kevlar reinforcement for added strength, engineered to provide very low thermal expansion in the steering system. It is designed to exceed SAE and ABYC specifications and deliver precise steering control beyond what standard hydraulic industry hose can achieve, while remaining kink and abrasion resistant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach hose comes with a factory swaged solid fitting connection featuring an O-ring seal backed by a metal-to-metal seal for a secure, leak-resistant joint. A bend restrictor is fitted on one end of each hose, which should be attached to the cylinder end to prevent kinking during installation. The hose is rated to a maximum pressure of 1500 pounds per square inch and is intended for use with SeaStar PRO (1500 psi) reinforced Kevlar hose systems only. The hose cannot be cut to length; it must be ordered in the correct pre-set length for the installation. SeaStar outboard hose part numbers follow a length code where the final two digits indicate the hose length in feet, so the HO5716 designation corresponds to 16-foot hoses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e SeaStar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e HO5716\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKit Contents:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two hoses, 16 feet each (32 feet total)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHose Length (each):\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 feet (192 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nylon with Kevlar reinforcement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black, Blue, Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Pressure:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1500 pounds per square inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Wall Thickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Dimensions (each hose):\u003c\/strong\u003e 192 inches long x 0.38 inches wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Connection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Factory swaged solid fitting with O-ring seal and metal-to-metal backup seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Helm System:\u003c\/strong\u003e SeaStar PRO (1500 psi) reinforced Kevlar hose systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 731957805270\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long are the hoses in the HO5716 kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e Each hose in the SeaStar HO5716 kit is 16 feet long, and the kit includes two hoses of equal length for a combined 32 feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the HO5716 hose be cut to a shorter length?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. SeaStar outboard hydraulic steering hose, including the HO5716, cannot be cut to length.
