I had to replace the cockpit drain hoses on my 85 Catalina 27. Catalina used 1
1/2" exhaust hose for the drain hoses which had disintegrated on my boat. I
took the advice of a previous post and went to an auto parts store and located
a 1 1/2" hose with a 90 degree bend. The hose is a Gates P/N 21953 which cost
$15.76 each. You have to cut a little more than an inch off of each end of the
hose but it is was a great fit. Just thought I would pass on the info.
