does anyone know where to start looking for water lines that would be stainless braided or covered in the same?

i would be looking to replace the ones on the front of the motor that goe to the oil cooler and water pump
also the ones that go to the manifolds and whaterver other lines i might find along the way

would there be a downside to this?

its a stock 502 merc

Cisco on Dixie Rd Mississauga will cut to size stainless hose with whatever fittings you need.................Ed

P.S. If you give me size, length, fittings, I can get you pricing

Thanks Ed, I may take you up on that when i get a chance to take some sizes

was just thinking this might give a nice clean look to the bilge

was alos looking to chrome or get chrome valve covers

even better would be custom ones with a logo on them

any thoughts

If you are just going for the look you can buy stainless braided line covers... they just slip on over the regular hose.
