hose

Hi - this is my first post asking for assistance. My (original I believe) automatic bilge hose (Lawrence 3/4 ID) is severely rotten where is exits under the engine. I am trying to remove the old one and instal a new one. It's a tricky job - without much force the aft end of the hose...

Does anyone have a suggestion about the best way to get a nice clean cut on wire reinforced hose?

Looking for some advice on replacement of the prop shaft stuffing box hose. The original stuffing box and shaft log seem to be 1 5/8". The original stuffing box hose was 4 ply. The 1 5/8" does not seem to be a common size for stuffing box replacements so a new 4 ply hose does not seem to be...

Newbie here. We just bought a 1976 32-2 that hadn't been sailed in several years. While bent double inside the starboard lazaret trying to get at the front of the Atomic 4, I kept bumping into a floppy 3-inch corrugated hose that droops inside the hull from the lower bilge area to the blower...

I've had problems over the years knowing when my fuel tank is actually full. Yes I have a gauge and it does work. It would be nice though to see when the tank is full and I was wondering if it would be possible to replace the diesel fuel filler hose with a thick clear plastic hose. Or maybe just...

Hi All, Has anyone researched the different qualities for sanitation hoses? I am replacing my holding tank on my E35/3 and there are a number of different 1 1/2" sanitation hose choices. I've found ones from Greenline (G380 is their top product - white butyl rubber and supposed to be odor...

I've been looking high & low for an appropriate feed hose (flexible) for my alcohol stove. The A1/A2 gas hoses are resistant to blended fuels with alcohol .. but I'm not sure how they'd resist the straight stuff. On the other end I was looking at braided PTFE hoses, they're pricey .. but might...

Hello Everyone, I've been away quite a long time, but I'm back with a quick question. Does anyone have a diagram of the pathway for the large exhaust hose on my Universal Atomic Engine. I know it runs unseen under the sole near the shower sump basin, then disappears behind the cabin ladder...

I've completed the unpleasant task of removing the Wilcox-Crittenden Headmate toilet from my 35-3. I also had to remove the discharge hose to the holding tank, which was a Sealand Odor Safe that has become clogged with calcium and even more inflexible with age. I'm now prepared to install a new...

Folks, I need to order new ventilation hoses for my E29 today but for the life of me do not remember if they are 3" or 4" .... Cheers,

Here in the Florida panhandle my marine stores two suppliers don't carry a 1 3/8 stuffing box hose. Does anyone know where I might be able to find one? Don

I want to replace the output hose on my manual bilge pump to make it a little longer. It looks like some kind of plastic or PVC with a spiral reinforcing wire and PVC cuffs attached to the ends. It looks like this Shields hose listed on the West Marine site, but I don't see the cuffs listed...

Hi, I’m a little embarrassed about procrastinating for so long about this, but I just haven’t been able to figure out a reasonable solution. I have a 1988 38-200. The engine is under the companionway stairs and the water intake through hull for the engine is under the galley sink. The 20...

On my 1989 Universal M25XP I still have the original hose on there and want to replace it - but I recall the hose has different size ends. One seems to be bigger than the other. Mine is a short hose, about two inches coming down from the pump, a 90 degree turn towards the side of the engine and...

As you can see in the photo below, the vent hose for the holding tank is attached to a 90 degree downward elbow that routes the vent hose below the intake hose. The vent hose seems to be totally blocked as pumping out creates suction at the deck fitting that doesn’t release once the pump stops...

I am about to try to replace the hose on my holding tank that runs to the manual pump. I have to open the inspection port to make sure the level is low enough. The head has not been used since pump out, but it has been rinsed a few times with a bit of water, Odorlos & vinegar. I hope the level...

Good afternoon, Has anyone replaced the hose to the starboard watertank or their E34? I would like to do this, as there is a small leak, however this seem a hard job due to the fact that part of the plumbing is under the teak sole, and not accessibale. The part that's under the teak sole...

Hello, Ours (and most 80s-vintage Ericsons?) have a funky antisiphon hose coming off the exhaust thruhull. It is above the standing water line, but sometimes below the sailing one. Ours is made of a small rubber hose that does not appear to be rated for exhaust or anything, but most...

I'm trying to clean up the hose runs and cockpit scuppers on the 35-2 in rehab and wondering where the hoses connect. The P.O had everything connected to 1.25" drain close to the keel just behind door that accesses under the cockpit. Can you kind folks offer some clues as to how the 4...

After replacing my thru hulls and seacocks earlier this fall, I still need to complete some of the in-cabin plumbing on my e27 (yet to be sailed by me) this spring. There's no reason I can't use good quality hose to attach to a bronze seacock is there? Specifically, I'm thinking about...

I'm a new owner of a 1973 E27. This is my first sailboat and it's a real project. The previous owners left it in poor repair. One of my projects is to remount the engine compartment blower which was broken off its mounting and left dangling from it's wires when a rebuilt A4 was installed. I'm...

It is time to replace the blower hoses. The old stuff appears to be dryer hose that you would use for your clothes dryer at home. Do you recommend stepping up to the pay window at our local Marine supply store or can I just use dryer hose? In addition, the old hose was just attached to the...

Yesterday I noticed the bilge pump cycling about every 10 minutes or so. The hose under the cockpit has a split in it. So I closed the through hull under the sink and it stopped the leak. I had my son, much smaller and younger than I, do the monkey thing and crawl down into the starboard...

I discovered a puddle that was causing problems for my inlet fan that vents into the bilge. The water collected in-between the vent cowl and the fan. The hose was distended like it accumulated water over the last few weeks' thunderstorms. Is this a common problem? Will this cause problems...

After viewing a few pictures of small Yanmar engines installed in Ericson boats, I am not sure of the purpose of this hose assy. According to the Yanmar parts book, the stock hose is aprox. 10" long and runs from the thermostat to the mixing elbow. My boat has the yanmar hose installed and...

I bought a 12" piece of Shields 101 sanitary hose and only needed half of it to replace the toilet to tank section on my 1987 E-34. Does anyone need a 6+ foot piece? Email me at trmetzger@earthlink.net

On our '88 E34 I just discovered that both the fuel vent hose and the filler hose are routed loosely way downwards under the cockpit sole after they exit the tank top. I think this is not good. This means that the low loop in both hoses is full of fuel. To fill the tank, the low loop in the...

The cockpit and sink drain hoses on my 1978 E32 need to be replaced. The starboard two cockpit drains plus the sink drain (all 1.5") terminate in one starboard seacock via a single three way (one opening from the top, and two brazed to each side of the tailpipe) tailpipe. The three way...

I will post some picutes later but I have questions about the type of hose connections that should be used on the CNG lines. I have torn apart my cocpit locker and am rerouting all of the wiring and hoses to neaten things up. The funny thing is the hose connections look like they are just barb...

I replaced the mystery leak hose today. Spent way to much time messing with hose types and sizes. Regalus still had the original cockpit drain hoses. One had started to leak where it split. The hose was very stiff and no longer flexable at all. The first thing was to pull the original out. Make...

i can crawl around the boat and make notes.. i'm sure i will... but it would be extremely helpful here, if somebody who has already changed out all of the stock through hulls/ gate valves on an E25 were to list out the necessary replacement SEACOCKS, HOSES, FITTINGS, etc... also TOOLS...

I have an E27 with a Palmer P60. This is a raw water cooled engine with a water lift muffler. The exhaust hose currently rises from the muffler to the top of the lazarette then loops back down to the thru-hull outlet. Should I place a vented-loop in the exhaust line? Thanks in advance. Steve...

Hi, all, does anybody have by any chance a list of hoses used in E32 with diameters and lengthes? Some hoses are rather hard to measure accurately... Thanks in Advance, Stanly

I have a blockage in my main bilge discharge hose. I ran water from both ends and it discharges, yet the bilge pump doesn't seem to quite get the water to the thru hole. I changed the pump, no change. I thought pulling another hose through would work, but I can't seem to move it aft of the...
