How many PSI do you get from a 1980 Mercruiser trim pump? I am having some lines made for my set up tomorrow and do not know if I should take the 5000psi (real hard too bend like I need it to) or 3000psi (easier to bend).<br /> Thanks

You wouldn't happen to know what 1/8th black plastic hose is rated at? The kind of hose that comes with trim tabs.

That tubing is Too Light........<br /><br />You'll need Low Pressure Hyd. Lines......<br /><br />You Might get by with the Nylon Tubing used for Big Truck Air Lines,.. For the Return Lines,... But Not the Up-side of the circuit......
