What type of hose do people recommend for engine raw water intake?  The
engine is a perkins 4-108, with 1-1/8" dia. hose barb on the pump.

 

I am looking at two choices:  one is a plastic helix reinforced PVC hose
with a smooth interior and exterior, similar to sanitation hose except
it is clear with a black helix, not white.

 

The second option is either wire reinforced or non reinforced double
wall trident hose which is essentially the same as exhaust hose. 

 

The pro for the first one is that it is more resistant to oils than the
rubber, but the rubber is more resistant to heat.

 

Please let me know what you all recommend.
