Curtis:
Use a marine grade ' hard walled exhaust hose' either 11/2" or 2"
ID.....mine was 1 1/2" and I was not changing the thru hull at the
transom to upgrade to 2".

What's your boat?
Mine is a 32 and I did not have to crawl under the cockpit
sole.....I did have to get into the engine compartment via the
port lazarette to access the muffler connection and push the new
hose back alongside the starboard hull to the transom where it
loops up and goes down to the thru hull. I had to take the
propane locker out to access that thru hull.
If it starts leaking, you have no choice but to replace it.

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.

Are you talking about your exhaust hose from the muffler
back? If it is
that old, it would be worth changing. Mine was probably
original, 1984,
probably 26 years old when it just showed signs of leaking
from the
inside out. A little seawater won't matter, but CO would
be problematic
when motoring.
You should have, at the very least, marine grade exhaust
hose, better
yet a marine grade hard walled hose. The 'hard walled
hose' is for a
good reason.....it won't collapse. That's what I used.
I replaced mine before I had the problem.
