Cheap air hose

[eks]

One thing that I notice and never liked is the cheap (house dryer) air hose that the RZ2 has front the front to the back. Going under the front and side storage.

They look very cheap and fragile. In my humble opinion it should be some tube going under the main deck not at user view, or at least of a material that would not get cut or damage by putting a wakeboard on top.

DO other boats besides the RZ2 have the same cheap hose?

I figured that there are other issues that need for me to address first. Not with tige but for myself... Calling Dr. Phil!!!! Where are you???? he he he j/k

All kidding aside, the hoses that you are talking about should already be out of the way so they are not snagged by boards.

If you are talking about the generic black bilge vent hose, then yes it is used universally on many makes and models. It is tougher than it looks, but it can be snagged and ripped. It is cheap and easy to replace.

That looks like hose from a heater, at least that's what mine is.

This is on the left side of the boat, and comes for the picled fork ventilation

Everyone I've ever felt (and I dont make a habit of feeling other's hoses ) all seem to be about the same quality.

Not saying they are hi or low grade, just seem to be the norm

If you buy a car, you don't expect to have those kind of hoses in you glove box or trunk. In my opinion, that kind of ventilation system should look like it was mean to be there and not "...hum, now that we finished the boat, how can you get the ventilation from the front to the engine compartment?"

But again, what do I now...

all manufacturers use pretty much that same exact hose on vents and blowers.
