Exhaust Hose Supplier in Southampton

[MacMan]

So just when you think you have everything nailed for the season something else crops up...

Today I found a leak in my Exhaust hose - on a Yanmar 3GM on a Prout Quest 33.

I think I need 50 mm (Internal Diameter) - 3 metres long.

I tried Shamrock Quay Chandlery and Force 4 at Bursledon but neither could help today (Sunday). Marine Power don't have this kind of thing on their website.

I need go down and get this sorted on Tuesday as this is launch day for me - any suggestions on the best place to get this from? Anywhere nearest to Kemps Quay on the Itchen would be great.

Also any tips ? It would seem straight forward but happy to benefit from lessons someone else has learnt the hardway.

thanks in advance

The latest types from Vetus or Halyard Marine are much easier to put on than older types.

Thanks - it's getting the old one off which might be more a concern !

Are you sure it's 50mm ? I needed 52mm for my 1GM10

I've just bought a metre from these folks in Southend as I was passing - good price and quality:

That's a shame I've got 6 metres of 60 mm in the garage that I am trying to sell.

Vitesse Marine are a Vetus supplier in Fareham. They are just of the dual carriage way from Fareham to the M27.

No connection but they have always been helpful to me and have always had the stock I was looking for.

Thanks everyone - plenty of options there

I knew there was a reason for having the boat in Southampton and have a view of all the industrial estates - hopefully one of these guys can help me out

Cheers, Mark

I will remeasure and check from looking at a bunch of these suppler 51mm appears to be a "standard size"

Mine slid off the engine easily enough, but I did have to carefully take a hacksaw to it to remove it from the various waterboxes, swan-necks, etc. Sidecutters also handy. Make sure you have both of those with you.

For getting hoses onto things, Wickes sell a rubber-safe lubricant intended for use with domestic soil pipes that have O-rings in them. I bought a bottle when I rebuilt my bathroom, but have since found it quite handy on the boat too. The new exhaust hose didn't pose any real difficulty though.

We're also lifting in from Kemp's on Tuesday - but I don't remember seeing a cat in the yard

Agree the Engine side looks "easy" - it the waterlock side that look more challenging. I'll take a long a range of cutters, hacksaws and widgets ;-)

I am actually next door to you in Quayside which is why you haven't seen me in Kemps yard - it's just most people haven't heard of Quayside but no Kemps as it's more of a "proper" Marina ;-)

Erratum: it was 45mm for the 1GM10

Ah hah

I guess we'll both be going in at the top of the tide, so will probably be too busy to notice a catamaran dangling in the air at the other side of the yard. But I'll wave hello if I spot it

I have a Prout Quest 33 - "Talia" - what are you ?

How I go on ...

I thought you might all like to know... And may help others searching the forum in the future.

Well Golden Arrow didn't have the parts and according them they wouldn't normally stock, Portmere rubber needed 5/7 days to make so no good for me but Vitesse came up trumps (but at a cost!)

The actual installation was surprisingly easy, both the old hose coming off and the new one going on was easier than I thought - and the 51mm Inside Diameter is what I needed. I also brought two new clips from Vitesse whilst I was ther to do the job properly.

Thanks, all for your help, and here to some great cruising over Easter/May BH !
