where can i find a set of water hoses for an old perkins 4108 marine diesel engine?

Question

the engine is in a seamaster 23 cruiser.

Answer 1

Are you in the UK? if so try Hindle Ltd in Bradford, main Perkins agents for the north of england. They may have dusty old ones in the stores. Or you could try having them made up at:
Dunlop Hiflex,
Howley Park Road,
Morley,
Leeds.

Or alternatively at your local Arco branch.

Answer 2

Hopefully you have the old hoses I assume. May try browsing the Inet "perkins 4108 parts" "perkins marine engine parts" Things like that.
I found this;
http://www.onlineboatparts.com/engines.htm
But there are others.
One place you may try and this why you want the old hoses. NAPA AutoParts sometimes they can surprise you what they may have or can get. You can compare your old hoses to be sure it correct.

Answer 3

On my 08 i replaced them at the auto parts store went in the hose section and match the bends and elbows & internal sizes Cut to length<> Also Did this on my twin 3208 cat> cost $ 35.00 for hoses or $250 from cat and wait 2 weeks>?

Answer 4

THE 4108 HAS DRY LINERS AS OPPOSED TO THE 4107,AND YOU WILL GET THE HOSES FROM EITHER PERKINS,OR ANY MARINE ENGINEERS.GARAGES MAY ALSO CARRY STOCKS,EXCEPT FOR THE HEAT EXCHANGERS,WHICH YOU MAKE YOURSELF,OR GO TO MARINE ENGINEERS.OR ANY MARINISERS.

Answer 5

175-185. Cooler is to cold and hotter is not good either. When was the last time the coolers were cleaned out? Raw water impellers changed?

Answer 6

A.S.A.P. are sure to have the hoses you need. Get the silicon ones if you can,they are much better than the old rubber ones.
