What is a Marine Wet Exhaust Hose

A marine hose is one of the most important parts of a boat. It ensures better running performance of your boat. It is used in every kind of boat for various purposes. The main purpose of a hose is the transfer of fluids. They carry them out of the ship and to and from different parts of an engine.

They are connected in a boat for the easy movement / discharge of fluids (oil and gaseous) from your boat’s engine, generator etc. They are mostly connected in your boat as an extension of a hole in your boat, which is both above and below the water surface.

They are specially designed to provide the best possible, long term performance and stoppage to its fluids in the toughest environments.

There are two kinds of marine exhaust hoses.

1.    Marine wet exhaust hose
2.    Marine dry exhaust hose

Marine wet exhaust hose is the more liked and preferred of the two. It has more benefits when compared to the dry exhaust hose.

Some of the benefits that a marine wet exhaust hose has are:

•    They are quieter, calmer and cooler
•    Eliminate the need for insulation beyond the point where water injects
•    No fire or burn hazard
•    They aren’t subject to corrosion due to their making
•    They can handle much more stress and do not crack due to over-loading easily
•    They absorb more engine movement, vibration, and noise, which results in over-all improved performance of the boat.

They are made from various materials like rubber, silicone and steel.  Silicone tubes are the most trusted ones in this regard as they can endure high temperature, unlike black rubber pipes that give up as the temperature reaches 250°F.

Marine Wet Exhaust Hoses are the best hoses for any ship, due to the huge benefits associated with them.

Silicone Hose Kits For Vehicles



Silicone hose kits can improve your car’s performance. Having a great car engine is not the only thing that matters. It is important that you give proper attention to the small parts also.

Most of us have the habit of not maintaining the car properly. If there is some small issue like the car’s engine oil has not been changed since last month, we are not that bothered. But it is because of this kind of carefree behavior that people end up with major car trouble.

A hose tube with a puncture will not let you have the smooth drive that you are used to. It is important to change the hose tube as soon as you see a tear or puncture in it. A silicone hose tube can help provide longer running efficiency of the car. You will no longer experience any leaks that can steal power in any way.

Before you buy the silicone hose kit make sure that you have researched and measured your requirements properly. The hose kit should be according to your car’s type. Another thing to keep in mind is the dealer you buy the silicone hose kit from. Many a times, people are fooled into buying hose kits that are not made from silicone.

When buying a silicone hose kit, make sure that the kit is for the proper vehicle. Different kits are available for cars and motorcycles. Most car and motorcycle manufacturers have their own silicone hose kit that is most suited for a particular model. If however you are not going for the dealer then be sure to research thoroughly.

Silicone hose kits can withstand higher pressure and temperature. It can be cleaned easily using non-abrasive cloth and soapy water. Try to stay away from any oil-based or solvent cleaners as they may discolor the hose pipes.
