The original bilge blower hose is easily crushed and at the prepurchase inspection the surveyor suggested I replace it. I found Defender has a very heavy duty 3" hose which looks suitable, but I don't know how much to get. I'm several hours drive from the boat and I'd really appreciate it if someone could take a look and give me a guess as to how long that hose is. This is an MKII where the bilge blower is in the stern port quarter locker.
Thanks!

greg--
replaced my vent hose a couple yrs ago- birds and varmints made home inside-
its 3" white flex hose - i checked West and Defender - this is no special product - i special ordered 50' from local hardware store, they stocked the 4" -
note, its really not necessary with diesel- have not run blower yet

I replaced most of the cheap " dryer " the factory installed w 3" flex drain hose from home depot. They sell it in 8' lengths and you can use aluminum tape to secure.
Works well in the lazar estate where you don,t want to be easily crushed
