Hello all, Starting to think a lot about getting the boats back in the water this season and in doing so I have been ordering up a number of preventive maintenance parts for my 1994 SN. One that I am struggling to find is a "kit" with all the water fresh water cooling hoses, mine are original to the boat and at over 20 years old I don't want to do another season on them. Does anyone know of where to find a kit with all the various diameters and lengths one would need? If not I suppose I can find the various lengths needed, however, since my boat is 5 hours away from me - would anyone be kind enough to post the diameters needed? In looking at pictures of the engine I see the part number on the hoses coming off at least the thermostat housing to the exhaust manifolds is 8045004.... however google seems to know nothing about that part number. ------------- 1994 Ski Nautique ProBoss 5.8L carbed with ProTech Ignition, 2000 Ski Nautique GT-40 |

It's all 1" except for the 1.75" piece between the circ pump and stat housing. I believe 12' of 1" and 1' of 1.75" would do the whole engine. Get a little extra to be safe if no one else can get you a better estimate. [pcm ford] |

I just checked my last hose order from SkiDim and I order 13' for my ProBoss. I had less than 12" left over. ------------- Please support The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation 1976 Ski Nautique 351 Escort 1993 Ski Nautique purple and black 351 HO PCM |

They are right on the money. The 1.75 inch needs to be a foot long and isn't anything special. Just woven reinforced straight hose. For some dumb reason pcm only sells it by the 4' stick. I used to order it and cut it into 1' pieces for retail. So basically if you don't want to use pcm parts a high quality reinforced woven straight piece of radiator hose will work just fine. Always make my cooling hoses a little longer than they need to be that way down the road if they get funky on the ends you can cut it off and start fresh. |

You guys are amazingly fast! I can order up the 1" and 1.75" hose easy enough. What about the bigger diameter hoses in and out of the circulation pump? ------------- 1994 Ski Nautique ProBoss 5.8L carbed with ProTech Ignition, 2000 Ski Nautique GT-40 |

| Nothing comes out of the circulation pump by hose and if the intake side is not 1.75" you've already referred to then you've got something mixed up. |

My mistake, you guys wrote circulation pump and I read fresh water pump. Thanks!  ------------- 1994 Ski Nautique ProBoss 5.8L carbed with ProTech Ignition, 2000 Ski Nautique GT-40 |

| FWP is 1" in and out. Don't reinstall it upside down! |

| What HW said. Standard rotation = flathead screw towards the motor. Reverse rotation = flathead screw away from the motor. |
