Uflex KIT OB-DBR-04 Hydraulic Steering Hose Kit with Dual Bend Restrictors, 4 Feet

The Uflex KIT OB-DBR-04 is a 4 foot hydraulic hose kit built for outboard hydraulic steering systems, designed to extend or complete a hydraulic steering run while protecting the hose from kinking at tight bend points. The kit includes dual bend restrictors, which are fitted at the hose ends to maintain a safe minimum bend radius as the hose is routed through the boat, preventing the flow restriction and premature wear that can result from a sharp kink in a hydraulic line. This makes it a practical choice for boat builders and owners running or replacing hydraulic steering hose on an outboard-powered boat, including installations that add a second steering station or an autopilot connection where an additional hydraulic line run is required. The hose is supplied as a 4 foot length, letting it be sized to the specific routing distance needed between the helm pump and the outboard steering cylinder, or between the primary and secondary steering stations. As part of a standard outboard hydraulic steering system lineup, this hose kit is intended to work alongside the other components of the steering system rather than as a standalone replacement part. It ships ready to install with the dual bend restrictors already part of the kit, so no separate restrictor hardware needs to be sourced.
