I wouldn't trust my engine to homemade lines. I used a Hyd hose shop myself for piece of mind. Cost more but makes me feel better.

I see the hoses and fittings I was talking about in pics of extremely high dollar engines in old powerboat and speedboat magazines I have here. I assume they work well. I was just wondering what exactly you do to use them.


These are what I am talking about, I guess you can get them in brass or AN fittings. They are called push-loc I think.
