Blower hose
 

What is everyone using for their engine room blower hose? Mine is in bad condition and I need to replace it. However everything I see is pretty crappy looking and quite flimsy.

I have about 8-10' of new 3" you can have if you want it

Thank you, Speedy! I'll check what diameter I need and get back to you. The hose pic you sent looks more substantial then the white stuff I have now and see in the Marinas.

dont put on the white dryer hose...lol.........I put this in my boat, its pretty heavy duty, if you want just pm me your address

Just checked the size....3 inches works!

Sending a PM with address.

Thanks,

Padraig

Speedy do you remember where you bought that hose from? All i could find a few years back was the flimsy white hose and I have been looking to change it.

I sourced clear from a woodworking machine supply on line company, this is vacuum hose for woodworking worked very well

Here is one supplier, there are many others out there in any size needed https://wholesalehoses.com/r-4-4in-i.../whpvr4-04-10/

Underpsi68, how much do you need? I don't think I will need more then 5 feet. I can measure tomorrow. I can send the leftover to you if it will work.

Speedy, Thanks again!

Voodo Rob, beautiful engine compartment.

I would have to measure but not to much. I have a 280 Velocity which should be similar to yours.

Thanks!!!

I should have remembered you have a Velocity....I am getting old. I am betting there will be enough for both of us.....I will pass on what is left.

Padraig

No worries!!! I have senior moments myself. 😀

Thank you and Speedy for your generosity!!!

shipped yesterday, dont worry about the shipping $$ pay it forward

Received the hose yesterday, looks great much better then that white crap that was on it. It was so brittle it was more like paper. Thanks again, Speedy!

Underpsi, there is 59 inches left. That is with the hose relaxed not streached at all. Let me know if it will work for you, I am guessing it will but my VR 1 may not be set up the same as your 290.

I just measured and 59 should be perfect. I have that same crappy white hose now.

PM your address and I will get it out tomorrow.

Underpsi, the balance of the hose is on the way, supposed to be delivered Monday. Tracking number is 9505515386660171404961 on USPS.

if your 290 is set up like my VR 1....have fun connecting it to the vent.

Padraig

Thank You!!!!

I received the hose today.

Thank you Padraig and Speedy!!! It was very generous of both of you!!
