I'm plumbing an oil cooler for the 22.
Which AN hose ends are better for salt water corrosion resistance?

Earls Hard anodized
Thanks!!!!!!
Normal colored anodized ends don't last long in Salt Water. (3-5 years if get salt spray on them)
Hard coat anodized ( a blackish Color) is very hard and should last in salt water.

Seems I recall you had a problem with warm running at WOT - looks like you found a cure. Did you / did you have this fabbed?
I drove by your house Saturday and didn't see a sign of life so I just kept on going and drank the cold one with your name on it :D

I'll look into the hard anodized and stainless. Looks like I could buy a new boat for what these hoses are going to cost me :shocking:
I installed cooler with OE hoses but 1/2" OD looks too small to me. I had temp and pressure issues after extended WOT.

New cooler is from Rex Marine. Installed in same location as the OE cooler after I modifed the brackets. I used up some weird powder coating (silver vein)
Sorry I missed you I was above Center Hill (Rocky Creek) helping my brother in law look at property :)

I recently installed SST braided Aeroquip hoses on my Minx. We searched throughout the catalog and were unable to find SST ends for that series of hoses. So I ended up with plated steel.
The cost was less than $200.00 but I don't remember an exact amount.
:wavey:

RickR,
You continue to raise the bar....
Like BUIZILLA said, "Aeroquip Stainless" is the way to go. Any well equipped Goodyear store should be able to "fab'em" for ya.
