RE: Raw Water Cooling

Joel, I hope you replaced the hose with a wire einforsed hose.* Otherwise it will collapse again.

On the raw water side of the pump from the through hull to the pump the hose must be a non compressing wire enforced hose.* The reason is the pump is sucking which will tend to collapse of regular not wire enforced rubber hose. **On the engine side the hose can be a regular non wire enforced hose because the pump is blowing/pushing the water.

regards
