what kind of tubing?

[dadgummit]

what kind of tubing do I need to hook up a water pressure guage? I bought one off of e-bay for cheap but it didn't come with any hose. Thanks -D

I found some ice maker tubing at Lowe's for only $1.70 for 25 ft. Works great, I'm going to use this on my speedo also. Thanks.

If the tubing that you purchased is that plastic type, don't be surprised dadgummit if the tubing doesn't hold up. Over time it will get brittle and break apart, plus it wont be as flexible as what TD mentioned that you should use. Lowes or Home Depot isn't exactly a marine or auto parts store the last time I looked. Here is the link to the tale tell, were you can find the tubing like TD mentioned.

All I'm saying is once again if it is the plastic tubing beware.

I used regular rubber automotive vacuum hose on my last boat and didn't have any problems.

The smaller diameter tube in this picture is what Teleflex supplies in their kits.
