Inland Waterways - Raw Water Hose Regulation?

[Tim Good]

In general I'm trying to tick all the necessary boxes for Inland whilst I'm doing a refit.

I heard in passing that the engine raw seawater hoses need to be of a specific type for Inland Waterway regulations? Anyone know the details of this?

I have been through the BW inspection process three times on two different boats with three different inspectors, I have never heard of a regulation governing raw water hose material. I can not find it in the printed manual either in the text or on the checklist.

Thanks. That must be the guy in Force4 trying to up-sell me!
