Ballast Hose

[mjr119]

I have a small hole in my center ballast empty hose. How hard would it be to replace the hose? Any ideas on a simply fix?

What boat? What system? Just cut the bad part of the line out if it's near a hose end. If not find any male to male adapter and cut the bad piece out and throw a couple hose clamps on it. This is high volume, not high pressure. Some electrical or duct tape tight around it will keep it dry for awhile. I ran a couple months on electrical tape out of sheer laziness.

2003 Mobius LSV. I'll see if the hose is long enough to cut a small piece out. What is the ID of the hose?

Pretty sure it is 3/4".

Yes, hose ID 3/4"
