Looking to replace my bilge blower tubing.
I really don't like the wire wound dryer tube type options. Is there a more substantial type available that works well?

4" silicone impregnated woven fiberglass double wire wound.
It's about $10/ft.
Thr marine crap is about $1/ft. But not much is used, so the overall expense is low, and will last far longer.

Dryer hose is 4" in most cases. 3" has been used as bilge blower venting on from daily cruisers to mega yachts for a thousand years. Not sure why you would need a high temp break hose when all you are doing is moving ambient air temps?
