I think he means the short piece of hose that goes from the hull tube flange to the seal carrier (just guessing at the names here). I suspect the biggest risk is if the seal is too tight and binds, it can place too much twist force on the hose, spinning it off or cracking it.
Another short piece of hose I know needs to be replaced on my 35-2 is between the two water tanks under the settee - looks really old and brittle, but also a real bear to replace in such a tight space. And of course the tank filler hose disappears behind the fixed seatbacks, along with the AC wiring. I've already ordered new 14/3 wire and will be abandoning the old paper insulated AC wires asap. -- Shawn Wright shawngwri...@gmail.com S/V Callisto, 1974 C&C 35 https://www.facebook.com/SVCallisto On Wed, Dec 11, 2019 at 9:28 PM Josh Muckley via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > I'm not sure I understand what $2 hose you are talking about? > > Josh > > On Wed, Dec 11, 2019, 8:16 PM Len Mitchell via CnC-List < > cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > >> How many boats still have the original $2 piece of rubber hose in service >> after 30 plus years?
