    Re: Fuel Line Cover (Hardhead1)

    also search for" rigging hose" in the search area... you should bring up all the links,, im thinking it was clearstreamco.com that had the braided covers,,and maybe eddiemarine that had the plastic...may have to check that eddie marine one after you search but should bring alot options up TH marine also carries the zippered sleeves if you would want to go that route

    this is the place to get it cheap. I bought a bunch and made my own rod socks out of it. Really easy to order and it came the next day.

    Re: Fuel Line Cover (Hardhead1)

    Instead of the braided/mesh/sock material, what if you wanted to use the plastic material that resembles a wetvac hose? Would imagine computer stores carry these but have not searched.

    I have the hose on the OptiMax that covers the fuel line and it looks like the wetvac/shopvac hose. It is actually a part/kit you order from Mercury and too large for the graphs application.

    Believe it would look better to have matching material instead of a mesh on the console and a plastic hose on the stern.

    Any ideas on websites that may carry this type of cable covers?

    wrap around loom so you can just split the mess and slip over wires and cables. I will be using this stuff so I will not have to unhook cables and wires and will use as a rigging cover also.
