Yes I have one hose on each motor leaking a little. I want to replace all of them. I could easily get some standard hoses made up. I thought I should stay with the OEM style of ends because of the gradual 90 degree turn. Where a standard 90 fitting would impede flow? These are not hot rod engines (415 hp) but I do run for extended periods of time at cruise RPM of 3600 to 3800 rpms. Would standard ends be OK? Or should I just get OEM stuff? If I could get just the ends a local shop could assemble the hose.

Thanks everyone for the responses!!

Look for a parker store in your area. I had my lines made at a place called Fluid Systems Engineering (aka the parker store) here in the Detroit area.

Try this.

45 Degree Inverted Flare. We Have Them In Stk.the Hose You Can Use Is 801-6 Push-lok ,it Comes In Many Colors. You Can Go To Your Local Parker Store Or Call 586-790-8880

If there is a Goodyear hose dealer near you, they can make up anything you need. I had the braided trim lines running to my outdrives made by them, and save a bunch over the Merc parts.

Thanks guys for all the help. I just ordered new lines from the Marine Power dealer. Got a pretty good deal six hoses for about 150.00 bucks. Can't complain about that. Thanks again for all the suggestions
