*please* change that bilge hose you used. It's thin and not smooth-walled on the inside. Your two pumps will have reduced capacity if you keep it around. Warthog will show you the picture of his dog chewing it soon. :eek:

Yes it has power steering and it makes it super easy to turn.
I don't like that bilge hose either, however I couldn't find any 1 1/8" smooth hose around.

Re: The Seavette is @ Wildfire Marine
 

Can I make a suggestion?

Get rid of this plastic hose RIGHT NOW! It's junk and should be Outlawed.

It also slows the flow of water with the ribs inside.

Ok, it's gone! I was able to take the rigid 1" hose and heat it with a heat gun and slip it on. :cool:

Re: The Seavette is @ Wildfire Marine
 

For what its worth, I found some hose on ebay. I questioned the seller and he said that the inside was smooth. I think I will give this stuff a shot - not sure about the quality but I'm going to order some and check it out.

Re: The Seavette is @ Wildfire Marine
 

I hate to say it, but a 1" hose probably isn't much better than the ribbed 1-1/8" you had before.

The stuff that Will posted is what you want and the price is right. I ended up getting mine from west marine. Even with a port supply card it was expensive: http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs...001/146/145/11

Re: The Seavette is @ Wildfire Marine
 

Well I actually thought about that. It's going to have to work being as the engine is now in the boat and it would be a SOB to get to now. I wonder if the flex stuff is all that bad. It's been in the other boat for seven years now and still going strong, however it wasn't exposed to the sun or chafed with anything.

Well I finally got around to getting some pics of the ole Seavette. This was Fri 9/28/07 at Horn Island. I'm still not finished redoing all of the teak.
