Fittings for sea strainer, where to get or just use longer hose?
I am reinstalling my fully rebuilt 500 EFI and took the engine out time to install a house battery. To make room I moved the sea strainer. To replumb it back I could use two 1 1/4" 90 degree Hose Barbs, prefer in stainless. for a cleaner installation. I am having a hard time finding such fittinngs. Do most run longer 1 1/4" hose with sweeping bends or does these fittings exist? I would even use brass. I have only found 1 1/4 barb x 1" IPS male adapters. I would have to connect it to a 1/1/4" x 1" female adapter seems like a lot of extra fittings. Any suggestions?[ATTACH=CONFIG]553739[/ATTACH]

I would not use a hard 90. I would keep it sweeping. Like a full flow fuel fittings. IE: no abrupt turns.
