Hello fellow TFers!
Recently while doing my oil change before haul out I found another cherry from the OP.
In order to save 23cents he took the shortest path for the hose from the raw water pump to the oil coolers, what in summary resulted in getting the hose as close as possible to the oil filter housing (so close that it was literally on it) and thus of course having the hose chaffing on the oil filter and obviously being almost totally cut.
It was so damaged that I was almost able to going through by pressing it with my nail, another drama caught in time.
Now I want to replace all hoses with brand new ones and of course rerouting them properly. So here the questions:
1. Any impact to foresee if I reroute the hoses to take a clean route but longer route? I guess no.
2. What kind of hose for raw water and fresh water? I guess that automotive hose would do fine.
For my fellows from Canada, I found a maker/seller named new-line that sell all sort of hose at good price and marine hoses included, any experience with it?
Thank you!
