⚙️ Key Features

• 0.483 kg
• 17 applications across six series
• Steering return side
• Quantity varies by assembly, most commonly two

🔌 Function

Returns hydraulic fluid to the reservoir after it has done its work in the steering circuit.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Fluid level in the tank falling with no obvious pressure-side leak
• Weeping or dripping at a return hose fitting
• Air drawn into the system, giving spongy steering and foamy fluid
• Hose cover cracked, softened or chafed
• Hose collapsing or kinked so return flow is restricted

🛠️ Service Notes

• Order by the stated length — the return hoses listed here are 2.0 m and 3560 mm (872217), and the published weights do not follow length across the steering hoses
• A leaking return hose lets air into the system as readily as it lets fluid out, so bleed thoroughly after fitting
• Steering is safety critical: check full, smooth movement lock to lock before the boat is used
