WakeMAKERS Premium Ballast Hose - Clear/Black


I'm wanting to put my 1,100lb ballast bag in the ski locker this year, when I bought my set from wakemakers they sold me the pump with about 9' of hose, I need about 11' to reach the bag in the locker,

I've got the attwood Tsunami T-1200 pump and believe it's a 1 1/8" hose. I can't find the hose at Lowe's, Ace or even a local "hose" supply store,

Any ideas of where to look locally or just order it from wakemakers?

The bilge/ballast hose holds it shape better for more flow. I would just order from wakemakers.

I should have asked this question on here. Wakemakers have a great hose for a great price.
 
What @Mainah said, they do have a discount code that used to work for jetboaters, I forgot what it was.
Definitely the best hose.
Heat it up with a heat gun before connecting to connectors. Cutting it requires very sharp tools.

A simple non-ratcheting pex cutter works great to cut it. Definitely agree with heating it up. Don’t forget SS pinch rings.
