Substitute for OMC Cylinder Hose

[Caseyuconn]

Anyone know of a good substitute for OMC cylinder hose, see link below.

I have an issue paying $15 for a 2" piece of hose. And I need 2!

I have same issue but bought OMC parts anyway during my current rebuild. You can take the old hoses to an autoparts store and they will match the bend in some other hose they have and if you are lucky one prebend hose will have both bends. 2 for the price of one.

I just bit the bullet and ran out to buy them. $17 for one $13 for the other. I feel abused.

Aw, come on, wait till you have to buy something expensive. Is your motor electric shift by any chance? How about $400 for a shift switch?

It's all part of owning a boat.
