Coolant hose for power steering cooler

[Realmsteel]

I've got a '94 with a 5.0L and alpha 1. I bought it used last summer.
While changing the oil, I noticed the large coolant hose from the transom to the power steering cooler has been worn almost thru from the steering mechanism.
Should that hose be a molded type or just regular hose?
The reason I ask, is it looks like it should have a formed elbow so it clears the steering better.

If it's a molded type hose, I'll need to figure out the part number.

Your motor could have 3 different cooling designs, but appears to all use the same intake hose. I think your part number is 32-96246A4 (item 27 in link below) but as Bondo mentioned, if you provide your serial number we could verify

Nope,.... That's the hull's hin number,...

You want the motor's serial number, or the transom shield's serial number, or possibly the drive's serial number,...

It will resemble the serial numbers for the Rinker in my signature, a 0 then a letter then 6 more numbers exp: 0Fxxxxxx

With that serial number your hose part number is the one I posted above 32-96246A4

Got the new hose installed and of course discovered another problem. Bilge hose was split and noticed the bilge pump mounting tangs were broken, so it doesn't sit properly.
Replaced the bilge hose and ordered another pump.

Thanks again for the help
