any suggestions on the best type of hose for bilge pump discharge and where to buy it?

Replacing old clear pvc with red reinforcement.

Thanks.

That hose is not the easiest to hose clamp because of the corrugated exterior. Good hose though.
they make cuffs to go on the ends ...i haven't use them but it may well be the cure i just double clamped and have had good luck with that

Thanks guys- this is just what I was looking for-- from what I can tell most literature says cuffs are not necessary. In fact, I can't find a cuff that would fit the 1 1/8 size. I think I will try Woodster's method and just double clamp.

I've been using Trident 1-1/8" hose (available from Defender.com) for some time now...Smooth interior to minimize friction, and quite durable, too! might want to check it out...
