While wandering through the local Lowe's hardware this weekend I came across some blue, flat tubing advertised as bilge pump hose. Its made of some epdm/plastic compound or other, and is thin walled, lies flat and is 2" dia when pressurized. Anyone seen/used this stuff? Looks like it would be very good for snaking the line from the bilge sump to a through hull.

Sounds like pool pump waste outlet hose...
... and it is not robust if that is what it really is. I would not use it...

I'm sceptical
I share Joe’s scepticism - sounds too good to be true. Lies flat (unpressurized), thin ??? Gord May

Sound like,,,
hose for a gasoline engine emergency pump. The kind lowered from a CG helicopter. Not for permanent installation. IMHO
