You get a fiberglass coupling. You may find that you melted the first 8
feet or so if the engine overheated. For the changeout, first start the
engine with the inlet seacock off to blow out existing water, then soak a
rag in vegetable oil & stuff it in the outlet. The only problem is that
the damaged hose may be farther out than you think. Pay attention to how
high the loop of hose goes above the waterline, I found my loop was only
2" above water, so I added more loop at hose replacement.
