The Wonder-Flex style marine hose is hard to beat. Smooth wall inside, and capable of reasonable corners without collapse. Most sizes good to 200psi.

The impeller pump inlet hose can get a significant suction within. You want something that isn't going to collapse.The orig Merc hose was a very stiff hose with wire wrap built in. A real PITA to work with, but needed. For this hose in particular, I would stay with the orig Merc hose or something similar.

After this short discusion I am convinced, thanks for help!
For raw water I keep classic marine materials, but for close cooling system will use this silicone hoses. (I have marinised LS376/480 and it is wery easy to made nice coolant piping with this fittings.)
