I recently got a 86 offshore 24 with twin 150 yamahas. This fall i will be derigging the engines to install new conduit. I would like to pics on how people also did there power steering hoses and fuel and oil hoses. This is my current mess
looking for pics of older 2-stroke outboard riggings?

Unless you are tearing out the deck and installing new rigging tubes, you don't have that many options. What exactly do you want to know?
I got new rigging tubes and the peices for the trnasom and motors. How do people run the power steering lines and fuel and oil lines? The shift cables and engine wires will all be incased in the rigging tube. So from the engine to the transom it will look tidy. I don't want to have the rigging tube cut open to have the other hoses coming out. I did find bulhead connectors for the power steering lines. Can bulk head connectors also be use for the fuel and oil lines as well?
There's not a whole lot you can do with those older motors where the wiring enters one side and the fuel enter the other. It's a stupid design. Newer motors (Yamaha started around '91) have the eletrical harnesses, fuel line, oil line and control cables all enter on the same side of the cowling so an adapter can be used to connect the rigging hose to the cowling like so:
I've seen where the hose shown above was used with those older motors, but a cap needed to be installed and then cut open so the rigging could run to separate sides of the engine. Looked like hell in my opinion. I think your best bet will be to use something simple like this flexible sleeve.

Given what I see on the Mako below, it looks like there should be a few clips to keep that fuel line tight to the bottom cowling. If you are missing those, they are probably still available through your local dealer. Get 'em and wrap everything in the flexible stuff.

Here's pic of completed rigging I did when installing two Tohatsus outboards on my mid-80s seafarer.Two fuel lines from one side, all controls and hydraulic steering from other. Worked great with no issues.
