Description
Trident 3/4" x 50' White Bilge Hose | Boat Supply Store
This Trident Marine bilge hose is engineered for the demanding conditions of bilge pump systems, offering superior flexibility and chemical resistance. Constructed from corrugated polyethylene, it reliably handles oily bilge water and seawater within an operational temperature range of -40 to +200°F (-40 to +93°C). The 3/4 inch diameter and 50-foot length are optimized for efficient intake and discharge, making it a critical component for maintaining your vessel's dry operational status on the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway.
Key Features

Common Concerns Answered
Can this bilge hose be used for below-waterline thru-hull connections?
No, this Trident Marine bilge hose is explicitly not recommended for below-waterline thru-hull connections due to its flexible corrugated construction. It is designed and certified for above-waterline bilge intake and discharge applications only.
What if I need a more rigid hose for my installation?
If your specific installation demands a more rigid hose structure, you may need to consider marine-grade semi-rigid or rigid tubing options, as this hose's primary benefit is its extreme flexibility for navigating tight spaces and curves.
Is the white color a concern for visibility or staining?
The white color is primarily for aesthetic consistency and can aid in visual inspection for leaks or debris. While it may show staining from certain bilge contaminants over time, its resistance to oil and seawater minimizes long-term degradation.
