Who has re-hosed their TE

Post by **Nowhere Special** » Sun Feb 27, 2011 6:12 pm

I am in the process of re-hosing the below water line hoses on Aba Daba, per the recommendations of our surveyor. Has anyone else taken on this task?

Dave,
I haven't done it but I'm in the hose and fitting business. I may be able to answer or help get answers to your questions. I may also be able to recommend a hose shop near you that could help identify and replace as you go. What are you looking to do first?

I am at this time doing all of the cooling water hoses on the raw side of my 6LP. What hoses are you referring to?

John, I have been able to get all the hoses needed locally.

I have finished the saltwater wash down, (the clamp under the fuel tank was a PITA) Will finish the head intake and discharge to the tank this coming weekend and then move on to the seawater side of the cooling system. The intake for the A/C was done prior to our getting the boat.

RobS, are there any surprises when doing the sea water side of the cooling system?

Hey John, do you do installation as well?

Rob, not a single hose in the triple digit$ and you're complaining about costs? They ARE for a boat!

It was a "surprise", not a "complaint". If I had twin engines then I might have to complain

Carl,
Not unless absolutely necessary

As for the molded engine hoses, I wouldn't be much help on those. Most of the other hoses can be found at industrial hose shops usually at better prices than marine supply. Take a small section in so they can match it with something in stock and you could save some cash.
Good luck
