Mike45q Posted September 21, 2020 Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 Anybody know what type of fittings are used on Bobs Machine Jackplate hydraulic hoses. I want to relocate my Jackplate pump from underneath the inner hull to the stern bulkhead where the two cycle oil tank was formerly located. The existing hoses come up from the inner hull thru thru-hull grommets . Looks like the easiest way is to extend the existing cables And leave the older hoses as is. I saw two foot extensions cables on Bobs Machine sho website but need two fittings. Can anyone help or have a better idea. Thanks in Advance Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smilemaker Posted September 21, 2020 Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 Bob's pumps were originally a mercruiser stern drive pump. look into parts for an older stern drive pump and that should give you the information you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCTribute Posted September 21, 2020 Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 I would just give Bob’s a call, they will likely just send you what you need, no guessing involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuddyBottomBluz Posted September 21, 2020 Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 Do as NCTribute suggested, Bob's has pretty good customer service. Or what I did, I bought the bulkhead fittings from Bob's and then went to a local hydraulic fitting/hose supplier and had some nice stainless hoses made. The reason for my thinking is that I have seen people fighting fish and had the hooks pull and go into a hydraulic hose, happened to be a steering hose, the stainless braiding protects the exposed hose from not only sharp objects but also UV. It may never happen in your lifetime, but if it does, you will have wished for stainless lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
