Yes I am talking about the hose from the muffler to the stern and that is
my next project. I just can't see how I can get all the way to the back of the
boat under the cockpit sole . I think it is just to small for me to wiggle al
the way back there to undo it from the fitting. As for the hose, this stuff is
probably original making is 37 years old. If I use the same stuff and it only
lasts 30 years this time well I'll be 93 years old. Every hose I have will
probably be broken.
