Morning All

I have got a VP 250A (AQ151 with 290 leg). I have had to replace the trim pump with a Oildyne Pump, and need to replace the hoses (previous pump was nicked and hoses cut).

Is anyone able to tell me what the size of the hose fittings are, ie the size of the female cap fitting to the leg and the male fitting to the pump so I can get some new ones made up? I think they may be 3/8" but just want to make sure !

Thanks

Stuart

Re: Hydraulic hoses

Most hydraulic hose stores don't have the correct fittings or if they do they are too bulky to fit. Best to use OEM hoses. 'nutcase

Re: Hydraulic hoses

A safe way is mark the hose(s), remove them from the boat, take them to a hose shop. They will match them for length and fittings. If they don't have a specific fitting, can always remove them from the old hose and crimp a new sleeve over.

I've got the end to go to the transom sheild, i think its a 3/8" female dome cap, the end to the pump was snapped off, it looks like an 11 mm tread which is 7/16" male into the pump.

Cheers
