Default Re: Plastic Or Cooper?

I would strongly suggest against using copper. The electrolisys alone will force you to change the tubing in a couple of years. I have never seen copper used. The lines are a cost issue. Now... there are two kinds of lines. One of the lines is fiber reinforced and goes for about 3 bucks a foot. The other line is pure plastic and can be used on vessels that travel under 70 knots. (thats us) the cost on this is about .75 cents a foot. Let me know if you have problems finding this tubing in your neck of the woods. The cost saving is unbeleivable.
