HELP! Need size for hydraulic steering fittings
I know I should of just grabed the lines and take them up to the store, but the boat is out of town and I need help figuring out what size fittings I need. Here is a picture, basically were having to run some 45* fitting adapters to get our bellhousing mounted oil coolers to fit. So we need to replace the 4 straight fittings for some 45*'s, but I don't know the size. Any help would be greatly appreciated. They are for the center hoses (orange).

My system uses #6 with 1/2" hose 3/8" NPT where threaded. It looks like you have 3/8" hose with #6 fittings.
A little off topic, but where is the best place to get the thru hulls for hydraulics? I need 4 of them.

Fittings
The Hose You Have Apears To Be Size #6 (3/8). The Picture Of The Cross Over Hose That You Have Run Shows That Those Lines Will Fail Do To To Tight Of A Bend Radius. We Also Have Thru Hull Stainless Bulkheads In Size #6.

Because it looks cleaner and its press. so it will not restrict anything.
The 45's will still stick out,,why would u want to do that ??
+ u don't need to bend the hoses ,,which is not good for them.
Just me !
