    Hydraulic steering hose length?...

    Hello, I am planning to put a SeaStar system on my boat in the next few months, I was wondering what length hydraulic hose fits best? I have a '99 ZX185. Thanks, Rick in CT

    Measure from the helm to the side of the boat, then from that point to the stern. Then from that point measure to the motor and add a foot. You can always coil up a bit of hyd. line if it is too long.

    Went with 14ft hoses on my zx180. Had a coil about 12" in diameter. Seastar Pro is the way to go. I did go with a standard helm not tilt.
    Here is my pics you wanted.
