+1 It is easy to pierce so careful positioning and fixing needed

I have given this stuff ago but im not completely happy with it, it is too difficult to seal the ends because of the wire spiral inside it.

I used 2 hose clamps each end with silicone sealant and one end slightly leaks with my hand over the top of the snorkel.

It will do for now i guess, will just keep out of the really deep stuff

I have just had 2 mtrs of this
63mm 2.5" Silicone 2 Py Blue Max Air Feed Ducting 1m | eBay
It quite thick (and expensive) so hopefully will work well, I'll be fitting it next week.

I used some foam sticky strip to give the wire somthing to squash into. You could run a silicone beed round the tube. When itdrys itl make a good seal

Have you received this yet? I'm interested to know if it actually looks like the picture? I ordered twice from them and it was different (and of much lower quality) both times

I can only compare it to the ducting that came with my old Southdown snorkel. This feels much more substantial.

I have just been to a pipe shop
all they have is 63mm, my fixings are 65mm, the silicon hoses are ok (they stretch, nice fit) but the pipe with steel wire in wouldnt go over , I could have probably made it fit but may have made it week


so plan B
Ive ordered that pipe in the link I put on (the one mark D got) It will do for now ,76mm so i'll have to use reducer and stuff
