Engine Coolant Water Hose
So, for intake water line and engine water circulation (inboard), is the
following appropriate... http://www.go2marine.com/g2m/action/...hermoid.ht ml There are two small 8" U's that loop on top of the exhaust manifolds. Will this stuff suffice? Thanks!! |

Of the hoses they sell on that site, it looks like you picked the
better option. I like the 212-degree "plus" heat rating. The other hose that go2 is peddling is only rated to 190. If you develop an overheat, the last thing you need is for a hose to crap out as well. In a pressurized system, you can achieve temps well above 212-degrees with a liquid coolant. Is this particular, wire reinforced product flexible enough for your specific application? |

I found specs that said it has a 3" bend radius - am I to assume that this
means it can bend 180 degrees with a 3" gap between the inside hose edges? If so, then yes. For the exhaust "loops", there's about 4" between the outlets. Thanks for your quick response. wrote in message oups.com... Of the hoses they sell on that site, it looks like you picked the better option. I like the 212-degree "plus" heat rating.

Can't say for sure about the 3" bend radius, (if I were buying hose off
the shelf I'd just give it bend and see how it behaved), but there is a chance that a 3" radius translates into a 6" diameter. (This may be a wrong assumption, and some engineer will wade in to clarify). To me, the radius of a curve describes the severity of the arc measured from a central point in the turn, not the hose on the other side of the turn. But I may be wrong- the only thing I studied in geometry class was the backside of the gal who wound up doing my homework. :-) |

How about going to the regular autoparts store and buy the 5/8" for the
small coolant hose that every car uses. They even have formed short radius ones. What most inboards I have seen use. Bill wrote in message ups.com...

Bending the hose 180 degrees will leave the hose 6" apart (excluding the width of the hose) if the bend radius is 3". -- John H "All decisions are the result of binary thinking." |

Will this stuff suffice? No. Among the gods, Neptune requires you to pay tribute of at least triple for any version of any part labeled "for marine use". |

Is this the same god that places a shallow rock beneath by prop if I don't
pay an appropriate tribute? "Richard J Kinch" wrote in message . .. Douglas St. Clair writes: Will this stuff suffice? No. Among the gods, Neptune requires you to pay tribute of at least triple for any version of any part labeled "for marine use". |
