TH Marine Rigging Hose Flange

## **T-H Marine Rigging Hose Flange – 2" Professional Outboard Rigging Connector**
Give your boat a clean, factory-finished look while protecting your vital engine connections with the **T-H Marine Rigging Hose Flange**. This heavy-duty component is designed to provide a secure, organized transition point where your rigging hose meets the boat hull or transom. Whether you are running hydraulic steering lines, fuel hoses, or electrical harnesses, this flange ensures your "umbilical cord" stays put and looks professional.
### **Product Overview and Technical Details**
The T-H Marine Rigging Hose Flange is engineered to fit standard **2-inch diameter corrugated rigging hoses**. Unlike soft rubber boots that can tear or rot over time, this flange is constructed from high-impact, UV-stabilized marine polymers. It is built to withstand the constant vibration of high-horsepower outboards and the harsh exposure of sun and saltwater without becoming brittle or yellowing.
### **Precision Rigging Protection**
The flange acts as a structural anchor for your rigging system. By securing the hose firmly to the boat’s splashwell or transom, it prevents the hose from "walking" or pulling out during tight engine maneuvers. It provides a smooth, radiused pass-through that eliminates the risk of fiberglass edges chafing your expensive wiring and fuel lines.
### **Why This Component Is Essential for Your Rig**
Professional rigging isn't just about looks; it's about reliability. A loose rigging hose can lead to snagged cables or water intrusion into your bilge. This T-H Marine flange offers:
* **Watertight Integrity:** When properly sealed, it creates a barrier that keeps the "wet side" of the boat separate from your dry battery and rigging compartments.
* **Universal Fit:** Designed to work with all major rigging hose brands and standard 2" outboard rigging kits.
* **Flush Mount Design:** Features a wide, pre-drilled mounting flange for a secure, low-profile installation that complements any hull design.
### **Common Applications**
This is a standard requirement for anyone performing an engine repower or a new boat build. It is the go-to choice for:
* **Bass Boats and Center Consoles:** Organizing the main engine harness and steering lines.
* **Pontoon Boats:** Cleanly exiting the deck or motor pod.
* **Bay Boats:** Protecting cables from salt spray and deck wash-down.
### **Expert Installation Tips**
To achieve a professional-grade seal, apply a thin bead of marine-grade sealant (like 100% silicone or a light marine adhesive) behind the flange before securing it with stainless steel screws.
**Pro Tip:** When attaching your rigging hose, ensure the hose is threaded or seated fully into the flange neck. This creates a mechanical lock that prevents the hose from vibrating loose while running at high speeds or in heavy chop.
