That is the low pressure side right? I just used braided rubber hose from the local auto store. I think 3/8" rubber gas line.

Hate to have to change the whole hose..15' or more..goes all the way to the helm..plus would have to change the fitting there as well....

Use an hosebarb-to-hosebarb adapter to go to the right size. Tuck it out of sight so it doesn't show, but you can still access it.
