Freshwater system hose size 5/8 or 3/4?

Post by Craig Curtis »

Hi all,

I'm not at my boat now but was about to order a new inline strainer for my freshwater system. I was previously thinking that the replacement strainer was offered for either 1/2 hose or 3/4 in which I was thinking that we must have 3/4 in hoses. However, I now see that there are also strainers for 5/8 in hose, so I'm in doubt as to whether we have 5/8 in or 3/4 in. Anyone know offhand what was standard? I didn't see anything in the online owners manuals or any other prior posts. Chained to my desk for the rest of the work day but desiring to at least get this product ordered. Thanks in advance.
