That`s a relief after seeing the pics. I hope the repair goes well.I'm cool I made it back to the harbor.... Wish me luck
OK, if your draft is say 5', then there is only about 17psi of water pressure on the inside of the hose.
More like a little over 2 PSI.
But that would be pressing all around the outside keeping the hose in its original shape...it is the delta of the two pressures that is important.Rick,
I used this calculator and came up with 16.9178 psi. It gives the total pressure (not just the pressure due to the water), so it includes the 14.7 psi ambient air pressure at sea level.
It only takes 2 to 3 psi to blow a steel tank. A rubber hose (and a misapplication, worn out hose ). Even less.
