Question for you guys, I have the mercuiser system with the air pump. I need to change the air lines out and Merc wants like 50 bucks for the tubing. What is the size of this tubing? I know that it is a rigid type tubing. Is there tubing that can be purchased at a hardware store that will work for this application? Thanks for the help.

I just replaced all of mine. I went with the quick disconnect type fittings, and 1/4" id plastic tubing. I used all Parker stuff that I found at a local hydraulic supply house.
