I have had a difficult time finding decent looking waterlines. Has anyone ever used silicone hoses?

Are they reinforced? I might think they would be prone to kinking if not

Somehow I could see that going horribly wrong. Motor mount gives out and you've got cooling water filling the hull. Wouldnt vibration be an issue?

www.fuel-lines.com. I just did an order there and the lines look great. About the same price as getting hose from homedepot too.

I just use the clear hose from Home Depot or Lowe's...I like to know water is flowing through the system. Same with fuel lines, just clear fuel lines.
i went to harbor freight and bought a 25' air compressor hose and cut it up it was $7.99

I did the same thing. Been working just as good as the day I first installed the line 4 years ago.
Maybe he is talking about when he does a BACK FLUSH!??

I tried using some of that clear silicone style plastic tubing from home depot for my old 650 sx dual cooling project and I found it worked well on the in lines since it only carried cool water. But the outlets and lines that moved water between components of the motor would kink easier and it made me uncomfortable using them. It also would kink if i needed to make anything other than a gradual bend in it. I ended up using the clear/braided home plumbing hose at Home Depot. I believe it was 5/8 OD and 3/8 ID. If I do it again ill be using the translucent air hose like previously mentioned, it's thinner OD and looks more trick than tradition air hose.
