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
that with wire hose its hard to get the clamps to really tighten down.
Buy shaft log hose, no wire, especially for this purpose.
The modern packings have a reputation for burning shafts. I always the
traditional stuff.
