AQ125 water inlet hose

[series60]

Looking for part number for AQ125 water inlet hose. This is the hose on the inside that connects from the chrome pipe of the transom shield inside to the brass engine connection

I cant help you with a part number but I can tell you what I did when I replaced mine.
The original hose is just straight hose that is bent into the 90. Eventually mine collapsed in the bend.
I took the original hose to NAPA and matched it up with a heavy duty radiator hose that had a 90 molded into it.
I seem to remember that the hose had additional bends in it and I just cut out off the parts I didn't need.

I have run the boat with this for the last 4 years or so with perfect result.

Thanks Alan, kind of what I was leaning towards but wanted to use a clear hose to keep check on whether the water coming in had air bubbles in it as some have mentioned. What I ended up doing was using a clear vinyl hose and bending it using sand and hot water/ice water method. It worked great for now and time will tell if it kinks while installed. I will try your suggestion for the full time hose.

# 78 in this link appears to be the hose you want. I wouldn't use any hose that may suck itself closed...
