Jamestown carries a wide variety of hose products to suit many, if not all, marine applications. They can definitely provide hose for your application.

JAMES TIDMORE

I don't pretend to be an expert on Shieldsflex Marine hose. There were no temp specs printed on hose.I found the manufacturer's specs. Google "seastarsolutions". Sheilds is a division of this company.

BRIAN SCHANNING

max temp shorty duration...250 degrees F.

JAMES TIDMORE

thank you

DON MARCELINO

The temperature ranges from -20¥Ë_¥Ë_¥Ë_F ’¢?? +200¥Ë_¥Ë_¥Ë_F continuous, +250¥Ë_¥Ë_¥Ë_F intermittent.

Rick White

It would probably be overkill for cockpit drainlines, but yes it would work. I would imagine that standard rubber hoses would be fine for your application.

DANIEL GRAVELLE

It certainly works for waterline and below. I think it would be overkill though for through hulls slightly above waterline.

BRIAN SCHANNING

It may looks like an overkill, but this hose very flexible, works great as deck and cockpit drain lines on our boat and will last forever.

SERGUEI CHESTOPALOV

Robert U's procedure is absolutely correct.

JAMES TIDMORE

Use a utility knife to cut around 360 degrees at your mark and then a wire cutter to snip the internal support wire. Bend the end of the wire in so you are not cut when handling. Easy!

ROBERT UTZ

Yes, easily. The smaller size can be cut with a sharp knife or utility knife and the larger sizes are easier to cut with a hand saw. The spiral wire is then snipped with a wire cuter after cutting around 360 degrees. It is smart to then trim the wire end short as possible and bend the end inward to avoid cutting your hand later. It is not easy to estimate the best length if you are dealing with large bends. Make it a little longer as a first guess and trim it back later. Remember, 2 hose clamps on each end, so overlap the pipe accordingly.

ROBERT UTZ

Yes

MICHAEL YANCEY

yes,it can be cut,you will need a good hose cutter and a wire cutter.This hose is reinforced with a wire on the inside so after you cut the hose you will need to cut the wire.this is a very good hose and very easy to cut to any length.

JESUS PICAYO

Yes, I was able to cut the hose to properly fit.

RONALD JACK

Yes it cuts easily with a utility knife. I think you also may need a pair of wire cutters also.

MICHAEL BLAKE

i bought this back in June - I used a hacksaw to cut to length - easy to cut through the rubber housing. I used tin snips to cut the wire core - but could have also used the hacksaw here.

STEVE BRANTLEY

Can be cut with good hose cutter and sharp wire cutters.

ORIN GUIDRY

You have to buy he minimum lengths that are offered, then cut them yourself to your specific length.Use a Hack saw then wire cutters or dremmel for the wire reinforcement

Charles Berger

Yes, no problem. You could run masking tape around to follow for a straight cut. Also it is recomended to double clamp in a marine application. Thanks Bill

BILL BECK

Yes, use a fine blade hack saw first and a good wire cutter to cut the internal reinforcement wire. Note: Pull the wire out of the hose slightly when cutting to prevent sharp edges when reinstalling.

KEITH W. FIELDER

Yes this can I used it on my charter boat, ordered it for the intake on my john Deere. Great product. As long as you use a wire insert your fine.Good luck,

KEVIN BREEN

I was not aware of that change, I have more than 30 inches. Of hose on my intake, will be getting insurance inspection soon, will see if he catches it. Thanks for that f.y.o. Kevin

KEVIN BREEN

Kevin,That's what I thought also. The USCG seems to be changing the rules though. If you look at Chapter "T" 46 CFR 182.710 the raw water system is classified as a vital system in 46CFR 182.710(a)(6). it states that piping for vital systems must be composed of ferrous materials except when non-metallic piping materials are permitted by 182.720 (SAE standard J-1942 with SAE standard J-1475 end fittings). Short lengths (30 inches) of approved non-metallic hoses (J-1942) are permitted when fixed by two hose clamps at each end of the hose under 46CFR182.422(d) and 182.720(e)(3)(v). Are you aware this change? Do you know we can comply without using that very expensive J-1942 compliant hose?Capt. Bill

WILLIAM WHITNEY

Yes, That is one of the primary applications of this hose.

MICHAEL SNYDER

Yeah, but I wouldn't use it for that. This is wire reinforced, doesn't like sharp bends and is made for exhaust. Very, very durable but its overkill and expensive. I would think there are better hoses than this for your application.

GAY BOYNTON

It would work, but would be pretty serious overkill in my opinion. I wouldn't spend the money unless you think you might have some solvents or other corrosives (that might compromise lighter hose) draining through the drains. It'll have a fairly large turn radius as well - might be an issue - as the hose is substantial

BARRY CUNNINGHAM

Yes; however there is less expensive and easier to work with hose that I would use if you don't need the temperature rating of this product.

PAUL BLANOS

I will be too large. Hose is sized by its inside diameter.
