Sea water hose diameter

[hmonarch]

I have a 2004 5.0 liter Alpha I.

Does anyone know the internal diameter of the hose that connects the gimbal housing water tube to the engine?

Hi, Depending on what you are trying to do, The inlet hose on a stock set up if a formed hose, See number 10 in this link and click on the part number for a photo of the hose.

In this next link on page 27 It said the water inlet hose is 1-1/4in [32MM] inner diameter. But you might want to look at page 48 just in case you are adding a through hull water pick up fitting. And a quick look at page 62 just in case.

For some reason this link will not work here on this forum, This forum think it's a bad word and will block the word b o a t f i x With some of these ***, So you could try to open this link up if you put the link below in your address bar and just type in the word above like normal, It should work out for you if you want to. Good luck with it.
