Hi All,

I just got my hands on my new boat and motor and I was wondering if anyone knows where I would be able to find some 2" flex tube so I can tuck in all the cables that are going out of the outboard into the boat. I have attached a picture...

The dealer sells it for a whooping $410.00 for 50" tube.. In reality for the money I paid for this should have come with one but they claim with that this type of boat it is not included in the package. I've searched online but I cant find anything bigger then 1" .. Maybe I am not looking for the right part..

Thanks in advance
Zipp

I think it's called a rigging tube or rigging hose.

This one looks interesting;

Most the OEM “tubes” are “bolt-ons”. A lot better than the various aftermarket adaptations and work arounds.

Having said that, eBay is your friend for this type of stuff

Check electrical supply places. I bought the small stuff at Home Despot. I have two sets of cable, wires and hoses to the motor, so the smaller stuff just worked.
