Designed for short, straight exhaust connections, it handles the demanding combination of hot engine exhaust gases and cooling water that flows through a typical inboard or sterndrive wet exhaust system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHeavy-wall construction with multiple plies of nylon spiral cord prevents wall collapse, panting, and vibration under exhaust pressure pulses — common failure modes in undersized or substandard exhaust hose. The compound is formulated for maximum resistance to heat, engine exhaust, UV, weathering, and ozone, with double the ozone resistance required by the SAE J2006 standard. A blue stripe provides easy visual identification for wet exhaust applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertified to SAE J2006 R1 standard for wet exhaust service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble the ozone resistance required by SAE J2006\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy-wall multi-ply nylon spiral cord construction — prevents collapse, panting, and vibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResists engine exhaust, high temperatures, UV, weathering, and ozone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemperature range: -20°F to 220°F (-29°C to 100°C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue stripe for easy identification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended for short, straight connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4\" interior diameter × 4-1\/2' length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e200 Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterior Diameter: 4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 4-1\/2'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeries: 200 (Softwall)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertification: SAE J2006 R1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemperature Range: -20°F to 220°F (-29°C to 100°C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour Coding: Blue stripe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eParts Desk Insights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest Use Case:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 200 Series Softwall is the right recommendation for replacing wet exhaust hose on inboard and sterndrive engines where the exhaust run is short and straight — typically the section between the exhaust manifold water injection elbow and the through-hull or waterlock muffler. The 4\" diameter and 4-1\/2' length suit many common inboard engine applications. Always confirm the customer’s existing hose inner diameter and run length before selling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoftwall vs. Hardwall:\u003c\/strong\u003e Softwall hose (this product) is suitable for short, straight runs with minimal bends. For longer runs or installations with significant bends and curves, a hardwall or corrugated exhaust hose is required — softwall hose can kink or collapse under tight bends. If the customer’s exhaust run has multiple bends, recommend a corrugated or reinforced alternative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSAE J2006 Compliance:\u003c\/strong\u003e ABYC and Transport Canada require that wet exhaust hose meet SAE J2006 standards. This hose is certified to R1 (the standard wet exhaust rating). Do not substitute bilge hose, water hose, or non-certified hose in exhaust applications — the temperature and chemical resistance requirements are significantly higher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wet exhaust hose must be installed with a continuous downward slope to the through-hull to prevent water from backing up into the engine. Secure with stainless exhaust hose clamps (double-clamp each end). Inspect annually for softening, cracking, or delamination.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LNS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51215078719524,"sku":"50-23778","price":200.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5799\/7604\/files\/50-23651_b07e9240-c578-4271-be03-a761190d8790.jpg?v=1786150057","url":"https:\/\/marisolmarine.com\/products\/seachoice-200-series-softwall-wet-exhaust-hose-4in-x-4-5ft","provider":"Marisol Marine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
