I bought mine from ASAP Suppplies Ltd along with a lot of other stuff. But p&p for just a legth of hose would probably make it as dear as from your local chandler.

When Sailorman sais spiral reinforced I think he means steel spiral reinforced. Not the tube with the plastic spiral reinforcement.
I find plastic spiral breaks easily over time as the plasticer releases and pipes with plastic not steel reinforcement crush.
If you want something that is easier to attach and remove go for silicone piping.

But this is more expensive.

In that case I refer to the original post I want some decent hose.
Having said that many people use the plastic spiral without incident. Personally I hate the stuff.

What is the objection to this type of stuff

Kinks too easily.
Can be quite difficult to remove without cutting it.
If for some reason you want to remove a blockage by attaching a bilge pump/toilet pump to suck the blockage out the pipe collapses.

None I hope, as I've got yards of the stuff.

It's what I use in most places. Needs care routing it. I have some 32 and 38 mm spare...

I bought some Vetus spiral reinforced for a toilet waste a few years ago. Looked like the dogs dangles, and would last forever.

The Vetus impermeable sanitary hose is excellent. Just doesn't come in 32mm.

Known as braided hose

 

[Poignard]

I think this was what I used:

It is clear, which was useful on the occasion when I dropped the pressure cooker weight down the cockpit drain.

That's the type I would use every time over braided hose. I think the cost difference is nominal.

After some time just about all types of pipe have to be cut to remove them unless you enjoy wrecking your hands working at contorted angles in confined spaces, and accompanied by the odd expletive.

ASAP toilet hose would be ideal, can't remember the name, just look for most expensive type they sell. It is very good.

What is the objection to this type of stuff

Collapses under suction or if not very gradually curved, always difficult to remove after it has been securely clipped and UV degrades - though little worse than spiral re-inforced.
