ACCESSORIES FOR STEERING SYSTEMS

Connection parts
When using compression fittings supplied as standard with non-commercial pumps and cylinders, a brass sleeve must be
inserted into each end of the nylon hose in order to maintain hose circularity. An alternative connection method
for 8 x 12 nylon hose is to use barbed connections HS1031MS and HS1037MS.

revolution. It is also recommended for electro-hydraulic hatch lifters when operating more than
1 cylinder. By installing this reservoir tank, the breather plug in the steering pump can be replaced with
the supplied solid plug, eliminating the possibility of steering fluid dribbling from the breather in big seas.

• Supplied with a large mounting bracket
• Comes with 1mtr of Ø / 16” (8 mm) hose, 2 matching hose clips, 1 G¼ and 1 G / 8 nylon hose pillar
