Installing Hydraulic Steering - FS Boat Maintenance Seminar

[@poormanselectronicsbench2021]

@ 5:52 Save yourself a little time working under your helm, route your hoses through the pump opening, attach them to the pump, THEN mount the fasteners for the pump to the helm, get your slack the way you want it under the helm, and then work on the motor end slack and connections. You're Welcome.

A good trick I learned as an electrician when running wires through tricky bends is to run two pieces of twine and leave one in place---that way if the tape separates you have a spare---then use the spare to run two lines; rinse and repeat as needed.

Clove hitch at the bottom and half hitches and you’ll never loose one. Never lost a cable in 15 years 2pr16 to 3c750 works every time!!

Thanks! Getting ready to tackle this on my new Suzuki 115.

[@gc29180]

Best vid on YT for this. And, better yet, I have a twin vee with the Suzuki so spot on for me! Thanks!

[@proassassin8473]

Yeah I’m gonna need you to come to Missouri and install mine thanks

Teflon tape should never be used in hydraulic systems. If just a small piece of tape it can cause major problems and locking of steering!

[@Thecoachco]

I agree,if the instructions don't say it ,don't do it.My kit ,the fittings have a washer with some kind of O-ring to prevent leakage

[@Thecoachco]

When you attach the hoses to the helm ,the hoses are supposed to go opposite of what they are on the steering ram,the starboard goes to port at the helm and vice vera,,,this is from the owners instructions page 2,,clear as daylight

[@glennfine1]

You should also mention that the lines have color coded caps, so that the person doing this job pays attention to which side the hoses go on, before they take those caps off.

You forgot to show the 1.5 hrs trying to beat the steering wheel off the helm lol.

[@williammackey7243]

Can you do this on a Yamaha 190 FSH?

[@TheBucktowncrazy]

First thanks for the video I'm about to put one on my boat. Question does it matter which hose (green cap or red cap) goes to the port or starboard side? Same at the helm?? Thanks again

[@TheDarthvader123]

Why do you use teflontape.....?

[@TheGhost81]

Teflon tape in the hydraulic fittings ? C'mon !!!

[@davidjessee7701]

Locktight with tpi...

[@derekdomino1566]

Better DIY. Palm City Yachts wants $150/hrx4 to install this system. $600 labor costs more than the unit. Two hrs max@$85/hr.

[@StartVisit]

can you do it for me please for $200, i’m in MA

[@darkandus]

I didn't know Nick Cage was doing voice-over narration now.

[@FLSportsman]

He was cheaper than we expected he'd be 🤔
