I am replacing the hose between the hull and the packing gland and my question
is this. Should I use the wire renforced hose or regular? It sometimes seems

Buy shaft log hose, no wire, especially for this purpose.

The modern packings have a reputation for burning shafts. I always the
traditional stuff.
