Fresh Water Cooling Plumbing (2001 Air Natique w/ GT40)

[Slader99]

Looks like someone did their own plumbing at some point on this 2001 GT40. There is a Grey plastic barb tee (poly irrigation type) that looks like it's starting to collapse. Also looks like it's too small of size for the hoses... can anyone confirm what size these hoses are (and that they are normal, not flared up to larger sizes on the far ends?) Hoping to buy what I need and not have to pull everything off first....

Thx in advance!

It might be helpful to get more context as to where these hoses are being routed. I would agree that the T doesn't look to be a stock piece. Pretty sure the original would have a bar code sticker on it as the factory would be buying in bulk and the ones I'm familiar with are typically white in color.

It's the tee with outlets going to each manifold, inlet is coming from raw water outlet of the heat exchanger.

Should all be 1" hose and a 1" T just like a original raw water cooled boat . Unless they used a larger 90 on the manifold ends and a different larger outlet heat exchanger. Unfortunately the original instructions don't state hose size because they were all included in the conversion kit

[gary s]

Your going to have to change them anyway- I'd take them off to confirm outlet size on the exchanger and 90 size on the exhaust manifolds

Will do and I'll report what I find. Thanks for the reply!
