Anyone changed this themselves? Mine has a slight bulge in it towards the middle. Otherwise it looks ok.
Looks like it could be easy, unless of course it's not

Anytime I work on any kind of hose, I always soften it with a hair dryer before diving in. I find it helps to keep the language under control.Looks like it could be easy, unless of course it's not
Also be sure to use the correct stuffing box hose.

Also, good idea to do this job on the hard
.I guess it's called a stuffing box hose. The hose that attaches to the prop shaft tube, stern tube, prop shaft log to the stuffing box.

There isn't much pressure on this hose, only the sea water from outside. It is not likely to bust open. It could leak though and likely should be changed out if it is old. The problem is disconnecting the prop shaft from the engine/transmission. If it has been attached for a long time it will not be easy.
