Whatre the best ballast hoses?
I need quite a bit of new 3/4 ballast hoses for my boat and was wondering what the best kind and where I could buy it from? I was looking at the see through premium hose from bakes online at 1.50 per foot and was about to purchase but wanted to get some opinions from you guys first on whether I should just go w their hose or something else.

The clear vinyl does seem to age better then the black hose. However what ever you go with, it should definitely be one that is coil reinforced, which can be found in both the black and clear varieties. The color of the coils, whether black, blue, green, gray or white, makes no difference.
Sounds like a considerable overhaul. Id consider upgrading to 1" hose and fittings, if possible.

Also if you ever upgrade your pumps (which you should because it is life changing) you won't have to do the hoses again.
