"Yes, but the automotive hose runs in fresh water with antifreeze. I'd bet
the reinforced coil steel in a raw sea water hose wouldn't last a New York
minute."
Phil, I'm surprised that you haven't seen all the types of reinforced hoses
that are available. Some brands have wire reinforcing which is seperate from
the hose material...just sort of inserted after the hose is made. These, of
course, would not last long in salt water. There are, however, types that have the
wire imbedded in the hose material. These have no wire-to-water exposure at
all, and should be satisfactory for use in salt water. It will be best, of
course, to have one of these be the correct length, with an un-ribbed section at
each end, so it wouldn't be necessary to cut to length, thereby exposing the
wire to the water.
Best wishes........JDL
