This is what I had to start with. I took this picture as I was surveying the boat prior to purchase. SCARY!!

Work in progress.

Getting Better!

Some of the old hoses now removed. If you havn't replaced your hoses in the last five to ten years, you might want to take a close look at them. Some of these hoses were starting to fall apart and getting brittle. I have replaced about 90% of the hoses on Mabel. With some shopping around, I managed to pruchase them for about $350.00 US. (not including clamps, many of those were in good shape and I re-used them). I did replace any clamps showing signs of corrosion and in the critical areas.

Some of the new hoses.
