I have a 2004 of the same boat.  When I purchased the boat the surveyor said the hoses should be replaced.  They had not yet fallen apart or ripped, but the surveryor noted that piling fenders or dock lines on them was enough to collapse the hose.  That spring I happened to be a the Experimental Aircraft Association where one of the vendors was selling duct hose for airplanes.  Very high quality stuff that cannot be crushed.  You can find the same stuff here:

I've found that works great.

[quote=Water Music]This area is a bit cavernous and I would like shelving installed.  Has anyone done this?  And what configuration works best particularly when heeling etc?[/quote]

My Mk I has shelving in the lazarette. The propane locker is on the port side, a shelf that I use for flopper stoppers, lunch hook, and other gear is on the starboard, and the middle third is open to allow for free movement of the quadrant and to access the bottom of the space, where more gear is stowed in fruit crates.

The heeling of the boat surprisingly has not been a problem even though there are no fiddles on the inboard edge of the shelves. I expected to have to install a barrier (the shelves were on the boat when I bought it) but even in extreme heeling the items I have there stay put.

Let me know if it would be helpful and I will post some pictures

I just replaced my bilge blower and noticed that the hoses need to be replaced soon.  I am considering one of these reinforced hoses from Shields, either the Series 450 or 460.
