Two 2 foot hoses, pre-crimped nickel plated fittings, and a bend restrictor on one end to keep the line from kinking where it counts. Purpose-built, not bulk hose you cut and hope for the best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're running a SilverSteer UC128-SVS front mount cylinder, this is the hose set that ties the helm to the ram. Uflex USA builds the KITOBDBRSVS-02 as a matched pair of 2 foot hydraulic steering hoses, each capped with pre-crimped nickel plated fittings on one end and a bend restrictor to keep the line from kinking where it leaves the cylinder. It's a purpose-built kit, not a length of bulk hose you cut and hope for the best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe UC128-SVS is Uflex's high performance outboard cylinder, the one built for bass boats, flats boats, and tournament rigs that see real speed and real torque at the wheel. A steering system is only as good as the plumbing that feeds it, and that's exactly what this kit handles. Two feet is a short run, meant for tight, clean installs where the helm pump and the cylinder sit close together behind the splashwell. Get the length right and you avoid extra hose coiling up and chafing against transom brackets, which is one of the most common ways these lines fail early.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's why the bend restrictors matter. Hydraulic steering hose doesn't like a hard bend right at the fitting. Route it tight around the back of the splashwell without support and the hose can pinch, restrict flow, and eventually crack at the stress point. The molded restrictors on this kit spread that bend out over a longer arc so the hose keeps its inner diameter and your steering stays smooth lock to lock. If you've ever fought a spongy or stiff wheel, a kinked hose is often the culprit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fittings come pre-crimped from the factory, nickel plated for saltwater corrosion resistance. That's a big deal on a rig that lives on a trailer or a lift in salt air. You're not crimping your own ends in the bilge and second-guessing the seal. You thread them onto the UC128-SVS ports, torque them properly, and move on. One caution from folks who've had these in the water a few seasons: the crimp-to-hose junction is the spot to inspect every year. Give it a look each spring, wipe it down, and check for weeping. Catch a seep early and you never end up with a soft wheel offshore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a set of two because a hydraulic cylinder needs a feed line on each side, port and starboard, to push and return fluid as you turn. Keep the two runs balanced in length and routing so the steering effort feels the same turning either way. Uneven runs are a subtle thing, but you'll feel a difference in the wheel if one side has to work harder than the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA few honest notes before you buy. This kit is for the SilverSteer UC128-SVS outboard system specifically. It's not a general purpose hose, and it isn't meant for inboard or sterndrive steering. When you fill and bleed the system, use the correct marine hydraulic steering fluid specified for your SilverSteer setup and don't mix fluid types, since the wrong fluid can swell the seals inside the cylinder. Follow the bleed sequence in your Uflex manual and take your time getting the air out. A properly bled system is firm and quiet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit carries CE certification and is UKCA compliant, so it meets the European and UK conformity standards, which is just a sign of the build quality Uflex puts into their steering line. For most boaters in the States, that's a nice bonus rather than a requirement, but it tells you these hoses are made to a real standard. If your run needs more length, this same hose kit is offered in longer sizes, so measure your actual routing before you order and pick the length that gets you there without a big loop of slack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot sure this is the right kit for your boat? If you're running the UC128-SVS and your helm sits close to the transom, the 2 foot pair is usually the ticket. If there's more distance to cover, step up to a longer set rather than forcing a short run. And if you're replacing old hoses, this is a good time to inspect the cylinder rod and end seals while you've got the system open. We're happy to help you spec the right length and talk through the install if you give us a call.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSet of two 2 foot hydraulic steering hoses, matched for balanced port and starboard routing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePre-crimped nickel plated fittings resist saltwater corrosion and skip the guesswork of field crimping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMolded bend restrictor on one end prevents kinking where the hose leaves the cylinder\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePurpose-built for the Uflex SilverSteer UC128-SVS front mount outboard cylinder\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack hose jacket rated for marine hydraulic steering pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCE certified and UKCA compliant to European and UK conformity standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShort 2 foot length keeps tight transom installs clean with no excess hose to chafe\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFactory-finished ends thread directly to the UC128-SVS cylinder ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Uflex USA reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat cylinder does this hose kit fit?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's made for the Uflex SilverSteer UC128-SVS front mount outboard steering cylinder.
