1992 PT40 Generator coolant hoses

[mbrund]

At first I thought about just runing one long run for each the supply
and return. But then I figured that would not work as that fitting
at the firewall needs to remain so the spring that makes sure the
hoses returns to the dog house does not pull the hose through the
firewall. I checked with West Marine for 1" ID wet exhaust hose,
but they do not stock it and the damn hose is damaged so I have to
buy it at the auto parts place at $9.48 a foot. Need 15' to do from
the back of the dog house to the radiator and they just barely have
enough in stock. Will have to do the genset side later after they
get more in.

through the firewall/box at the back of the enclosure there were
fiting that we had to remove (damaged-corroded). we then were able to
use MARINE grade hoses which we got at our local marine supplier. we
ran those as long as we could. This was a time consuming and dirty
job. Make sure you leave a long enough run in the generator dog house
so the gen can move in and out!
