Anyone know of a good source for hydraulic steering hoses? I think these need to have stainless steel fittings on them. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I imagine you should have a hydraulic shop in your area, they should be able to make up what you need.

I know when I went to several local hydraulic shops, they didn't have the right fittings for my steering and they were pretty big commercial outfits. They referred me to the aeroquip dealer which had everything I needed.

I bought my hose and ends from IMCO. This way you can make them exactly the length you need. BTW, cutting the hose is a PIA.

At my local Parker hydraulic shop I got 80' of Parker 3000 psi hydraulic hose and fittings to do my system for $56. I had to pay for the fittings and he made the rest out of the extra he had laying around.

I used hose from discounthydraulichose.com. The stainless fittings were really pricey, so I just went with steel and they have held up just fine. None of my hoses go outside of the boat though. The hoses to the rams are part of the imco kit that I used. I wrapped the hose with masking tape before cutting to keep them from fraying. The fittings to the helm were purchased locally.
