SOLD BY THE FOOT
The highest quality 1" ballast hose we could find, this PVC hose with rigid spiral reinforcement remains unkinked around incredibly tight bends, making it ideal for routing in narrow passages.
Embedded spiral design offers partial visibility, which aids in system troubleshooting by allowing observation of flow through the hose without impacting strength of resistance to kinking.
Designed specifically for the marine environment, this hose is impervious to salt water, gas, oil and heat, making it the ideal candidate for use in the bilge of your boat. Don't scrimp on the quality of your system by buying generic PVC hose at Home Depot, the few dollars you save isn't worth the hassle of reduced flow and durability.

Great for replacing cheap vinyl hose on portable pumps
Review by Jeff on 5/11/11
I bought 9' of this to replace the cheap vinyl hose that came on my StraightLine portable pump. It was tough to get it onto the 1 1/8" diameter fittings but a heat gun made it doable. No more kinks restricting/stopping flow now and it rolls up much tighter and prettier.
From an aesthetic perspective I would not recommend the crimp on hose clamps for this hose. The ribbed surface makes the clamps get all crooked and what not. They work fine but just don't look spectacular. The more rigid worm drive type clamps would probably look a little better but I guess the tradeoff is that you may end up with a sharp edge.
