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

Howdy.

I have a Yanmar 3GM30F.

I found a slow drip coming off the hose leading out of the sea water pump.

It looks to be coming from near the clamp on to the hose. I could try to
tighten up the clamp, but I think it's probably best to replace also
replace the hose.

I'm guessing that since this particular hose is still flaking silver paint
that it probably was factory.

I've replaced other hose runs with Shields 250 5/8" hose.

I'd like to do the same here but I was curious about the big 180 degree
bend right before it enters the heat exchanger.  Will shields 250 set and
hold a bend like that?

Any other advice on doing this well?

Best,
