I am looking to replace the hose that connects the 2 risers (out of the bow side).
the risers are off my old block, a 1986 5.7 merc.
What size diameter hose would that be?

Thanks Bondo..
Can it be a clear hose or do i need a specific gauge ?

Ayuh,... I used a fabric reinforced clear vinyl hose on mine...
Right from the local hardware store...
I put it on for Testin', 'n it's been there ever since...

Btw,... I had to slip a coil spring inside it, so it didn't collapse in the bends..
