[C320-list] Simple Hose Replace? - Between sea water pump and heat exchanger

[Utility Comcast]

I just replaced by “pre-bent” factory Yanmar hoses on the engine when I learned that I didn’t have to (leaky water pump that I replaced as well).  

I still have my old hoses for my 2007 3YM30 that are in excellent condition.  Our engine has 382 hours on it.

The factory replacement hoses, for just the three, cost over $200!  Crazy expensive.  If someone wants my three original hoses for much, much less + shipping, let me know.  They are cleaned and stored in the original Yanmar packaging that came with my too expensive replacement hoses.
