Field Installed Bulkhead Fitting Kits
Step 4
With the dust caps still installed, feed the hoses from the outside of the boat
through the newly drilled holes, inside along the gunwale or rigging tube to the
desired steering system component. The mounting plates, knurled nuts and bend
restrictors must remain outside the boat hull.
CAUTION!
Except as indicated, do not remove the protective end caps (figure
item 1) until connection to the cylinder and other steering components
are ready to be made.
Do not allow the bulkhead fitting components to slide along the hoses into
the hull as they may become difficult to retrieve. It is recommended that
the knurled nut and mounting plates be temporarily taped in place during
hose routing and connection.
Step 5
Connect both ends of each hose to their respective steering components (cylinder,
autopilot pumps, SeaStar Power Assist units, helm, etc.).
Step 6
Ensure the small end of the bulkhead fitting coil is pointing towards the cylinder end
of each hose. Follow these steps to wind the bulkhead fitting onto each hose.
