Are you wanting to run above deck or below deck?

A few people seem to use the blue drinking water pipe.

You could run it in general purpose hose e.g. https://www.asap-supplies.com/hose/g...er/51mm-/-2%22

Have a look at machine mart 3” hose, I’ve use it in the past and it worked ok

above deck there's no under deck access I would want it in black . and I think I'm going to need bigger than 3 inch

If you want corregated i would consider land drainage pipe ,athough it is perforated i reckon its better than sealed ,reason for saying this is when i had my ribcraft re engined everything in the trunking had to be replaced cables .control ,and even the battery leads ,all were mashed by either freezing surrounding water (boat was from scotland ) or maybe fuel spillage trapped in conduit ,my dealer was not sure ,but it was a mess which would not have occured if there was a drain in the conduit
sorry typing while you were answering ,above deck i suspect kopex will have the answers at your local electrical wholesaler

3" or greater is quite big if you want it to retain its shape if you stand on it for example.

You may want to consider multiples of a smaller size although halving the diameter reduces the cross sectional area by a factor of four so it may not be sensible.

Or solid tube for the straight bits - I've used some of this stuff for conduit - 82mm (OD) x 76mm (ID) GRP Tube - 4.5m Length : All Propped Up

I'm not sure how it would cope with any shear in the deck though.

thanks folks I think i am going to look into the 80mm - 100mm land drain stuff see what its like in the flesh. as my mercury outboard has a similar flexible conduit leading into the cowling it would be nice if I could match up with that poss with the deck conduit being a mm or two larger so it would just slip over the outboard conduit .it would only have to house the hydraulic steering hoses throttle and gear cables the main pos and neg cables a fuel pipe and the outboard loom. thanks for the help its the first time iv bought a new hull and rigged it out myself.

Go to a water garden supplier and buy pump hose it's corrugated strong enough to stand on. Land drain will dent if not full. Try ASAP supplies I'm shore you can buy half ducting with a Flanges each side you screw through too.
Link to 75mm stuff up to 50mm pond stuff cheaper

thanks I have found a place that sells that twin wall cable duct in 3 metre lengths with couplings and bends looks like it will be just the ticket
