[C320-list] Replacing exhaust hose

[Rod Boer]

Graeme,

Thanks for the input. It seems like the corrugated hose is the way to go. I
checked the specifications and it seems to make sense.

I just did this job and it was simple. However I purchased a hose like this
http://www.hyphose.co.uk/marine-exhaust/marine-exhaust-hose

which has corrugations to help bending

Obviously that British supplier won't be any use to you but I'm sure you can
get something similar in USA

Whole job took less than an hour
