I guess I’m going to be a wet
blanket here.
It should certainly be a reinforced hose,
but it should also be marine grade. If a USCG boarding party could see a marine
use approval marking on the hose they would see that as a violation. Ok what
are the odds of that now that they are in Homeland Security but still there was
a reason for them to check this.
I believe if you ask Napa Auto Parts for a
marine grade hose will get some in for you if they don’t stock it. It’s
fine to shop wisely but this is one of those items that can sink a boat, so be
safe about it.

Thanks Dave, anything to avoid that "marine"
markup. I'll stop in at the auto parts store on my way down tomorrow...

usually end up cutting off old hoses - so it's at least common. As to
replacement hoses - you need to use re-enforced water hoses. You can get it a
WM but you'll find that the same hose sold as heater hose at the auto supply
place is cheaper. You want a rigid hose so when it gets warm in the engine
compartment it doesn't collapse and shut off the water supply. That's why I use
the heater hose. Don't use the clear hose with the pretty red and white
reenforment threads.

I am replacing the kaput Sherwood water pump
on my Universal M2-12 diesel this weekend and need to replace the hoses as
well. Any particular kind I need to use? The former intake one looks more
robust (lots of wires built inside it, a bear to take off, had to cut
it) than the outtake; is this normal?
