    Shortening power pole hydraulic hoses?

    I just got a new to me Skeeter FXR 20. There is a ton of extra hose in the bilge. Any issues with getting new fittings and shortening them? This is the first boat I have had with power poles.

    Take the lines off and bring them to any hydraulics shop that does repairs is the cheapest option. Power Pole also sells shorter lines, little more money but not bad.

    You can make your own hoses with self assemble ends.

    The vevor hose is good, choose your size. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...+hose&_sacat=0

    I would only use eaton fittings. No knock offs or other brands.https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...hose&_osacat=0
