[Public-List] Hose Selection

[mahseer at kos.net]

Mike
 The solution I came up with was to install a piece of hose that has the
id of the stern tube and the od the actual stern hose.  I used clear hose
with internal cord for this, it was difficult to install and has lasted
for 14 years with no problems.
