Question:
A. Is it easy to unhook all the cables/wires and such from the motor to route through a rigging tube then reattached all hoses and wiring?
#2. Where can i find the thru bulkhead hydraulic fittings for the hydraulic steering? (2 behind rigging tube on left)

The corrugated hose comes split. You don't have to pull your cables loose to install it.

I wouldn't use the hydraulic thru hull fittings. Leave the hoses in tact. Just my .02 worth.

WHAT T.C. SAID, IT WILL HELP A LOT IN KEEPING THE SPLASH WELL CLEANER. I HAVE USED THOSE SPLIT TUBES AND THEY ARE EASY TO INSTALL .

Found out the steering hose covers are boots that slip over the hose, then you have to add the fitting, (also found out you cant buy them, Teleflex has them and wont sell them to an individual, and according to a yamaha parts guy, he cant even buy them...wonder ho wthe guy in the pciture got them???) :-? - or you can get the in-between thru hull connectors, but then you have to add a few feet of hose.. which i saw on ebay wasnt cheap...
