    Best hose material for bilge and aerator?

    What hoses are best for replumbing? Have used the clear pvc hose from Lowes but is awful stiff.
    Thanks.....

    What type? I'm looking for a softer or more flexible hose than what I have. Thanks though.

    I got mine from Flow-Rite. They have 1-1/8" and 3/4" sizes. Their prices are actually pretty good and it's what a lot of manufacturers use in their boats. I may use it for the bilge too or I'll just stick with the regular corrugated stuff.

    I use heater hose. It's pliable enough to bend and I know it won't leak if the lake ever happens to get hot enough to boil while I'm fishing.

    You can get clear hose at farm supply stores in any size you need. It is easy to work with and very flexable.

    I've always used marine hose. Use a blow dryer to heat the hose to make more pliable and easy to use.

    I kinda like the heater hose idea...if your truck heater hose blows on the way there's a spare in the boat

    I went to advance and they sold me all there scrap 3/4 hose for 5 bucks and ended up with about 15 feet. It's all gates heater hose and it has worked awesome and believe it will take awhile to dry rot. Just have to make sure it's cut to the right length as to not link it because it is so flexible.
