Marine Steering Hose, 0.38 Inch ID, Up To 1000.00 PSI

The minimum bend radius for this marine steering hose is 3 inches.

For routing, the minimum bend radius is 3 inches. The hose is built with bonded layers, a polymeric core tube, and fiber braid reinforcement to help with kink resistance, but staying at or above that 3 inch radius is the safe limit given for flexibility without damaging the hose.

The cover is a black urethane jacket, non-perforated, which handles abrasion well in tight engine compartments and rough installs. Under that you've got a fiber braid reinforcement wrapped around a polymeric core tube, and all the layers are bonded together so you don't get kinking when the hose routes around tight corners. It's built specifically for marine steering applications where low volumetric expansion matters, meaning the hydraulic response stays quick and accurate rather than feeling spongy.
