I know Ive read posts about this before and even replied to theese posts. But when I pulled my boat out of the water this weekend the fittings on my new hoses were caked w/rust.
The fuc#in a$$hole at the hydraulic shop told me that he made the hoses out of all stainless material. So now I need a pair of ALL STAINLESS hoses that run from the outside of the transom to the cylinders (about 9 inches) as soon as I can get them. Can anybody tell me the best and quickest place to get a pair?

Man this gives me a bad case of the red a$$ I spent about 600 bucks for various other "stainless hoses" from the same place. I wonder how long it will be before the rest of the rust

I use the merc hoses that are on the trim cyl, they are a little longer but work. You can get them at Boat US.

I just went through the same thing this weekend. Found a boat salvage yard at LOTO and in 30 minutes and 20 bucks later had 4 trim hoses. I had my choice of about 30 drives that still had the hoses attached. Needed 3/8 wrench and a pair of gloves to knock down the weeds. Owner said to watch out for snakes.

Good luck.

There were a few Bennet tabs, but no K-planes. Most of the boats are vintage 70's and 80's runabouts (16-22 feet) with a few small cruiser tossed in. Did not see any snakes, but my dad spooked up an 8 point buck laying in the shade of big old IMP. He stopped looking with me after that and went back to the air conditioned office.
