Saintly Fish Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Hi whats the best hose to replace my collapsed one? I can’t quite make out the markings on it. I know it’s 19x26 reinforced. Is there a best make to look out for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonC Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Are you talking about between the sea cock and pump or just the side after the pump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my boat it is just some really thick garden hose, not the usual soft hozelock stuff but really hard yellow stuff. Try a hydraulics place like pirtek etc, but as long as it’s double clipped with stainless jubilees it’s never going to burst, a deck wash is only about 4 bar I think.

JonC Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 This hose is from screwfix, no good at all for what you need, I’m not sure if the numbers mean anything compared to other brands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proper suction hose would do a better job..... I also wonder if its a sign that the hose and fittings are on the small side for the pump? Maybe 1" bore would have been a better option? Worth a thought when boat is next lifted for maintenance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth a thought when boat is next lifted for maintenance I think what has happened is that somebody put the pump on but never turned the sea cock on. Then it’s been sucked in to itself.
