Am fed up with having to replace the crappy yellow ribbed hose you get with the footpumps for the sponsons....they are always tearing /splitting on my pumps!
Is there another hose (from a different source /different use) with correct dia? What do you use please....
When I rigged up the Bravo-12BST in the console, I used a length of vinyl garden hose. Cheap, easy to replace, and generates sufficiently odd looks when deployed at the ramp.
I used a size a bit small, and used a heat gun to soften it enough to get it over the nozzles.
what i have drawn from Nashers "It's a bit stiff when cold.....but is tough as old boots" and Jayasaki's "Generates sufficiently odd looks when deployed at the ramp......a bit small....used a heat gun to soften it enough to get it over the nozzles....."
is:
a) Water hose is the answer
b) Finbarr Saunders would have had a field day on this topic
I use the same as Nasher the clear stuff,mine was for use as bilge pump outlet hose
As smooth bore it may pump up a bit quicker too,
for softning to go over the ends i just stick it under the boiling tap for a few moments or over the gas cooker .
its suprizing with the cheaper convlouted hose how mays pin prick holes build up over time all goes towards more pumping .
