The hose from pump outlet to heat exchanger is quite a complex shape, with some tight clearances around the pulleys. I'd fork out for a Yanmar hose (I did). If the first one lasted 30 years, this one will probably see you out.

Most of us don't drive around in 30 year old cars, but we do sail around in 30 year old boats, so the fact that the original hoses are getting tired shouldn't deter us from using the same type as original hoses. Silicone hose is available from speed shops, and the blue or green colour would look cool too, but at a price. It has more heat and chemical resistance, but with slightly less mechanical strength, so the tube walls are made thicker.

I have a Yanmar 2GM20F. I decided to tackle the job myself and yesterday I removed the old pump. While disconnecting the hoses, I noticed that most of them also need replacing. Can anyone tell me what type of hose should be used for this application? Thanks, Mike Atacama CC 33 mk ii Toronto Sent wirelessly from my BlackBerry device on the Bell network.
