I made a suggestion above on how to tell if the problem was the new hose, but another way to troubleshoot this issue if you suspect the hose, is to put the old hose back into service or borrow a potable water hose from a slip neighbor.

For anyone who connects a water hose from the dockside spigot to their boat and leaves it pressurized, it's probably important to note that this is usually against the hose manufacturer's useage instructions. These hoses are not meant to remain pressurized to 60+ PSI, especially when laid out in direct sun in warm weather.

Many of the hoses at my marina that are owned by the marina and used by transients have either burst or had the ends blown off from leaving them pressurized in the sun.
