Dinghy pump hose

[catlotion]

Does anyone have any recommendations to replace dinghy pump hoses?

My new Honwave pump hose (like attached) lasted three uses before splitting and I've been using an Outwell stirrup pump recently but that hose split too. So now I've got two nearly new pumps I can't use. Did a duct tape repair but would rather a heavier duty hose replacement.

Any ideas? Hose pipe maybe?

I reckon you've been unlucky. Those hoses can, in my experience, last many years of use. The easiest solution would be to buy a replacement hose of the same type (see link) and treat it with loving care.

As PVB .... my hoses are many years old ...

But replacement - any DIY shop and just need plastic hose of right diameter ... you should be able to even get the 'concertina' style ...

Just as comment - for my Avon and Soviet 2 man dinghys ... I have a short piece of domestic plastic water pipe pushed into end of my hose and then taped ... fits the valves better than the original fitting ...

Mine touched the hot exhaust of the cabin heater and I successfully bound it up with self - amalgating tape. Still going strong after a couple of years and seems to take the high pressure.

I needed to replace my hose with a longer one and I used flexible pvc conduit like this Tower Corrugated Conduit 20mm x 10m although I bought from a local hardware store by the metre.

Exactly .... like most things that have a Marine Label - are actually replaceable by common B&Q / Do-It-All etc. hardware shops... or caravan dealers

When the last washing machine failed I kept the drain hose which was ideal for a foot pump as it is corrugated and flexible and much tougher than the one that came with the pump.
