I am looking for better bilge blower hose.
I replaced a section while one motor was out last winter. Now I have both motors out, and went to replace the other side. However when I inspected the section I did last summer, I found it already had holes in it and the paper thin pastic material is now brittle.
Who makes better / thicker / longer lasting 3" bilge blower hose???

Thanks

I don't know but I need some too. The Maytag dryer hose on my Hustler is falling apart. There has to be something better.

Same with me. I always thought that what they use is such a Joke

Home Depot and Lowes sells an aluminum expandable dryer vent hose which is pretty trick. I'm using the 3" variety.

Do a search for duct hose, or anything else that you can think of!

Exactly. Home Depot/Lowes aluminum flexible hose found in the venting/pipe section for gas appliances. I'd give that a try. Screw plastic or pvc unless the hose needs to be squeezed or crunched to fit. I use it for my home dryer with no problems.

Yeah, I saw it too, but in salt air/water - won't it corrode?
Don't need to pull the motors again just to swap out vent hose.
I'll do it right the first time.
