What type of hose do people recommend for engine raw water intake? 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. M, I have always used the wire reinforced type and have only seen that type used. If your eng gets hot enough to harm the hose you have a lot bigger problem than the type hose. Remember that this is the SUCTION side of the pump and this requires a very strong hose.
