Doh!
OK, so I measured the thread on my existing trim hoses.
7/16" x 24 TPI I thought. Simple - 7/16 UNF.
Nope, 7/16 UNF is 20TPI.
So, anyone know what the thread is on trim pump hoses?

oh, I have 4 new 30" hoses with these new K-Planes, with 4 extra 30" ones and back to back adaptors to extend them to 60" (all new). You are welcome to use them temporarily to get you on the water. used back to back, you end up with 90degree ends, at both ends.

bout 7/16".
look like very standard mercruiser trim pump hoses with the stailness braid, covered with a transparent sheath.
I had the ones on my 28 made up.
though i did use merc fittings, removed and fitted into the new hoses, so I could mount my pumps way forward on the bulkhead.
I 'think' I still have a couple of the fittings, and am sure it would be possible to find some more old merc trim pump hoses to donate some more ends.
Then I could find out who did the supplying of hose/re-crimping for me.

Just had hunt round in the garage on various old hoses and trim pumps and have found combinations of 3/8" x 24 TPI and 7/16" x 24 TPI and adaptors between the 2. I'm pretty sure that all the external bravo ram hoses are 3/8 UNF.
Looks I'll have to leave this one on the back burner pending actually measuring the ram union.

These hoses are the internal ones.
I'll compare the two fittings I have, with the ones on the Kiekhaefer tab hoses I have.

I tried to find this out donkeys ago! No luck. They only people who knew whats fittings to use wouldnt tell me what they were for fear of me having them made locally and not by themselves.
