ON my PS190, I have the air intake under the windshield with two dryer like vent hoses going down into the bilge. Mine were shredded, and I'm looking to replace them, but I can't find the right size hose. IF possible, I would like to replace it with something completely plastic that won't tear like these did. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

I just wrapped mine with duct tape. It is standard automotive/marine blower hose. You can find an aluminum duplicate used for household dryer venting at Home Depot or Lowe's. If they don't carry the 3" (4" is now more standard I think) any real hardware store can get it for you. If you can't find it where you are PM me and I'll give you a couple of stores that should carry it up here. But - nobody can see it and the duct tape worked just fine, was quicker and easier.
Good luck on your project.
If you're looking to replace with 3" black flexible hose, I purchased 50 feet for $20 last summer and replace the heater hose from the fan motor box, around the bow to the hot tube, made the hot-tube pull out tube longer to reach the full back seating, replaced the window vent and engine compartment and blower ventilation hoses as well. I didn't see an actual link to the product, but give them a call. Real nice to deal with.

I would have tried duct tape, but mine were completley shredded, it looks like they were caught with skis a few times being put away.
Kell, I'll give them a try, thanks.

If you are talking about the 3 in. hose. SKIDIM (http://skidim.com/prodinfo.asp?number=MPI402-30000&variation=&aitem=6&mitem=24) has it also. I plan to order a few feet when I order my spring supplies.

I am pretty sure we some in stock. Normally it held in place with large hose clamps
