The internal access looks very tight and awkward .....
Or do these hoses just not perish ?

Any one had to replace a water intake hose from a DP-E leg ?

I did change the water inlet hose on my DP-G drives. They are same as the DP-E.... Very very difficult I must say. You pull the hose out from the inside of the transom - just behind the engines. Depending on the boat you have it may even be impossible without the engines out!. I have fairly good access in my Windy 37 but I have seen many engine bays where I would consider a change impossible.

Hope you find a way.

The insides can come away causing a restriction.
If your coolant temps are good, I would leave well alone, unless they look cracked or damaged.

The local Volvo dealer had a quick look at it and said ‘engine out’
With the phone i can just about photograph the internal end, reaching it no way.

Most dealers say that for the most ridiculous of jobs including if the heat exchanger leaks on the D range motor , even starter motor change .

Think in all the years I’ve been doing this job I’ve taken 1 engine out an old sunseeker as the 2 bolt heads sheared off the transom shield and that’s it .
Where is your boat ?
