one hose has a green cap on both ends and the other has a red cap. so do i put one on the "P" side of the helm and go to the "P" side of the steering cylinder? this is where im confused because in the filling instructions it shows the hoses crossed.

Yes, correct. The reason for the caps on each end is to
1.keep them distinguished & 2.keep debris out while routing.

i am just tryin to double check before i mess something up. so the "red" hose goes on the "port" side of the helm and goes to the "starboard" side of the cylinder? and the opposite for green? i have not put any hoses on anything yet because i have no help to bleed at the moment and i am not sure if i need to put and pipe sealing (teflon tape) on the threads or not?
