27 FC - Nautiflex hoses anyone?

Post by DCatSea »

Has anyone used Shields Nautiflex Corrugated Silicone Exhaust Hose for cooling and heat exchanger connections? See http://www.seastarsolutions.com/product ... series262/

As part of this years "big-ish engine room project" I am replacing a bunch of hoses, but as we all know, finding appropriate hoses can be a bit of a nightmare if you have a 27FC with an older engine. (NAPA notwithstanding)

The write-up seems to suggest that these hoses might be a viable solution to all sorts of problems, and SeaStar has a fine line of 316 SS T-bolt clamps.

Any inputs from AOGers would be most welcome.

Thanks
