Shields Flexible Rigging Hose 10 ft., Black

Shields Flexible Rigging Hose 10 ft., Black

The Shields Flexible Rigging Hose is a purpose-built conduit for routing and concealing engine cables, control cables, and hoses on outboard motors including bracket-mounted installations. It provides a clean, professional finish by hiding the wiring and hose runs that would otherwise be exposed along the transom or motor bracket, and protects them from abrasion, crushing, and UV degradation at the same time.

Constructed from polyethylene copolymer with an integral polyethylene helix, the hose is flexible enough to route around curves and bends while maintaining its shape and protecting the cables inside. Compatible with any style outboard motor.

Key Features

• Routes and conceals engine cables, control cables, and hoses for a clean finish
• Polyethylene copolymer construction with integral polyethylene helix for flexible, durable protection
• Resistant to abrasion, crushing, and UV exposure
• Compatible with any style outboard motor
• Designed for bracket-mounted outboard installations
• 10 ft. length trim to fit as needed
• Black finish for a clean, factory appearance

Compatible Applications

• Bracket-mounted outboard motors requiring cable and hose management
• Transom-mounted outboards where exposed wiring and hoses need protection
• Any outboard installation where a clean, professional cable routing finish is desired
• Repowering projects where new cable runs need to be routed and protected
• Saltwater and freshwater outboard installations

Parts Desk Insights

The Shields Flexible Rigging Hose is the right solution for outboard owners who want to clean up exposed cable and hose runs on bracket-mounted or transom-mounted motors. The flexible helix construction is the key advantage it allows the hose to bend and route around the motor bracket geometry without kinking or collapsing, keeping cables protected throughout the full range of motor movement. At 10 ft., there is typically enough length to cover the full run from the motor to the gunwale or console on most installations, with material left over to trim to fit. For a complete rigging solution, see the Shields Sternflex Rigging Hose & Flange Kit which includes both the hose and the flange in one package, or the Shields Sternflex Rigging Flange if you only need the flange to complete an existing installation.
