Can be used with all BayStar helms, with appropriate fittings. Kit contains
two cut lengths of tubing.
BayStar Tubing Kits:
20’ kit (2 x 20’ lengths tubing): HT4420H
30’ kit (2 x 30’ lengths tubing): HT4430H
(NOTE: BayStar Cylinders with H suffix must use tubing part number with H
suffix.)
How to Measure Hydraulic Hoses
New Installation:
Measure hose routing path from wheel center line to engine connection, as
follows:
A = Center line of wheel to gunwale (or deck, if routed downward),
B = Dash to transom,
C = Gunwale to centerline of cable connection at centered tiller.
Most cylinders move with the engine/rudder; enough slack must be left
in hoses/tubing to prevent sharp bends (less than 3” radius) and/or kinking.
Where rigid tubing is used, flexible hoses must be installed between tubing
and cylinder, to allow cylinder articulation.
For Most Cylinders, add A, B & C + 24”, round up to next even foot. Order
that length hose kit, or twice that length in tubing.
Hose routings (such as those found on pontoon boats) may vary from this
drawing. Confirm length by laying a garden hose along cable path and measure run
from wheel to engine connection point.
Typical Single Station Routing
