However....I do recommend using

1 ½ " pvc "SUCTION" hose. Its found anywhere for about
$1.20-$1.80/ foot. Go to a farm supply or contractor supply or home
depot. Do not even think about saying marine bilge hose! The wine
industry use it too except that stuff is USDA okay and lots more
expensive. "Trash pump suction hose" is what ya want. Its very tough
with hard plastic spiral. Very smooth inside. Also clear.

I was not able, in many googlings, to find this stuff ("Trash pump suction
hose") easily.

However, a couple of potentials surfaced when I went to the ads at the side,
speaking of suction hose.

Are either of these the sort of thing you're speaking of?

(G-vac or B-flex)

Better, if you have a HD part number, can you share it?

The costs shown in what I could see suggests it's close to what one would
pay for top quality marine sanitation hose (not clear, of course), i.e. 4-6
a foot. Is that your experience? Or, better stated, can you share specific
walk-in (vs shipped) sources for this stuff?

I'd use it both in discharge (1.125) on the electrics, and suction (1.5) on
the whale Gusher manuals, replacing all the old hose present currrently, if
I could find it inexpensively.

Thanks.

Skip, wanting to get rid of the cheap corrugated stuff on the boat now, and
not wanting to spend as much as the braided clear poly waterline costs
