Speedster 98 Exhaust hose replacement 204340073

[lithium2g]

Part# 204340073

The original portside engine hose had a massive hole in it when it was purchased 2nd hand and the seadoo guys replaced it with what now appears to be an alternative product made of a different material. I didn't really care because it worked I didn't know any better anyway. But now its got a crack in it and searching the part # shows that there are no replacements parts on any of the part dealers.

Does anyone know a suitable alternative that they are aware of? I searched this forum and all the part dealers thoroughly and found nothing relating to that Part# 204340073

BTW the crack leaks just a small amount into the bilge. I rotated the hose around so the crack is not facing downards in what I hope will prevent water from leaking out but then i realised its probably pressurised and wouldn't do much either way... in some futile attempt I used some marine grade sillicone over the crack and will reinforce it with some weather resistant duct tape. Bad idea?

Thanks once again

Measure the inner diameter and wall size and order some online or from your local hardware store.

Thanks you are so right. My noob brain just keeps thinking I have to use official parts all the time..

I bought an exhaust hose for a different seadoo product. I will hack it up til it fits.
