Default trim tab lines

maybe a dumb question,,,but why couldnt you use painted brake line ...
talking about from trim motor to fittings on transom..

,,instead of the hard plastic lines???

steel lines rusting???

i think the bent brake lines maybe cleaner look...
and same about drive trim lines???

same question???

You could just use stainless braided an fittings. Or have napa or any hydraulic shop make hydraulic line with stainless crimped jic fittings.
