In Response To: Re: Back to Hydraulic steering again (Paul Haggett)

Paul, you can have them made if you want, but the compression fittings sea star provide with the pump and cylinder are rated far above the tubing pressure rating. I just bought the length required for the installation and cut it to length @ the boat, put the nut and ferrel on the tube, and tightened it up. We use compression fitting at work for presssures that far excees anything your steering system will see, with no problems. Just another (cheaper and easier) option.
