It is a straight piece of 1-1/4" wire reinforced hose. The hose in under suction so the reinforcing is necessary.

My boat had a Yamaha sterndrive which is another topic. I bought a donor boat and have the transom plate and everything bolted up. I am ready to drop the engine in but I need to find a water intake hose from the fitting on the transom to the pump. I have searched and searched and can't find anything listed. Even my local Merc dealer couldn't find it. Is this just a straight 1 1/4 hose? Is this a molded hose? Any help would be appreciated. Bravo 1 is a 1995 ish and the 350 mag is a 2006 MPI.
Btw I have read this forum for years but this is my first post so forgive please if it is in the wrong spot.

Thank you BT Doctur for the quick reply. So basically like a long flex radiator hose would work ?

No, a Gates Green or Red stripe that has wire to prevent the hose from collapsing
