On my last check of the boat before exiting her for the hurricane I opened the engine room door and could hear a very good water spray/run. Long story short one of my dripless cooling line that up the cold water exhaust feed was spilt wide open. It was split way below the waterline. I looked on line for what kind of hose to use for this but since its so small all I saw was fuel line hoses. This is a critical hose so I want to make sure I replace it with proper hose. Any suggestions?
Second question, when this first happened we thought it was a split/crack in the muffler. the exhaust exits the boat through a stainless 12 inch flange. It's about 1/4 below the water line. In an emergency like I thought I had, I would need to plug this 12 inch hole in either side of my boat. Thought a plug would be easy to find. No luck so far. Any suggestions?
Thanks much!
