Marine Hose is a vital part of your boat. It's used in lieu of pipe because it? flexible and it provides better and easier installations, especially where tight spaces, movement and vibration are a factor (typical in most boats). As plumbing they deliver, circulate and discharge the fluids (liquid and gaseous) for most operating systems (engine, generator, exhaust, bilge, drainage, live well, sanitation, potable and grey water, ventilation, gas appliance, climate control, etc.) and they?e often connected as an extension of a hole in your boat (above and below the water line).

Marine Hose must be specially designed (with proper formulations and flexible heavy wall construction) to provide the best possible, long term performance and resistance to its fluids and aging in a tough environment (vibration and movement, heat and cold, ozone, salt air & water).

TRIDENT MARINE L.P.- (Liquefied Petroleum) GAS SYSTEMS are For Marine Use” with only the highest quality components. Each meets or exceeds the relevant standards of ABYC, NFPA, DOT and/or UL & CGA; and each is carefully packaged each is carefully packaged about the system, the components, safety precautions and excerpts from the ABYC Marine L.P. Gas System Standard.
    L.P. Gas is the most efficient and fastest growing fuel for marine appliances because it is inexpensive, long lasting, universally available, clean, quiet, and relatively simple to operate. It is also a safe system if the proper components are correctly installed and maintained; if the system is used correctly, and if proper safety precautions are followed.

Wet exhaust systems have decided advantages over dry exhaust systems. They are quieter, cleaner and cooler; and do not pose a fire or burn hazard (eliminating the need for insulation beyond the water injection point). Today, most pleasure boats with inboard engines (for power, auxiliary, generator) have wet exhaust systems.

Typically, raw water is pumped from the engine intake seacock and strainer; through a heat exchanger, possibly oil cooler(s) and water injection nipple or mixing elbow at the exhaust manifold; and itâs dumped with the exhaust gas (cooled from 1100° F. + to less than 212°F. on most engines) into the wet exhaust piping and out the stern. Most commonly the latter is a combination of flexible rubber exhaust hose, bellows & elbows; sometimes fiberglass or stainless steel pipe (at least for connectors); and mufflers or silencers. Flexible hose, bellows an elbows are easier and simpler to run than rigid pipe. They are not subject to corrosion or stress cracking; and they absorb more engine movement, vibration and noise. While the highest quality black rubber exhaust withstands maximum continuous temperatures up to 250°F., some high performance engines emit wet exhaust at 300° to 500°F. Here only silicone rubber can be used.
