We are in the midst of the install of our replacement 914. Europa supplies a coolant hose for the inlet to the coolant pump that has a 90 degree bend and a 180 degree bend  in order to have the pump inlet facing to port.



But the inlet can be rotated to face starboard. Is there is reason not to use a shorter, simpler hose that would just be a 90 degree bend to go to the coolant radiator?

I had to replace the 180 degree hose to the radiator and did it with a 90 degree silicone hose. I inserted a coil spring inside to keep it from collapsing and has worked well for 4 years now. You can find the spring at McMaster Carr and it works great for tight bends on silicone hoses.

Hi Jim,

I think the pipe will have to bend in order to avoid the ring mount.

Sounds worth a try.

Regards,

Roger
