Shower Hose for 47-gctid397264

This weekend one of the shower hoses broke on our 96, 47. This is the plastic hose with the metal spiral sheathing running from top of facet to spray handhold. Any ideas where to get a replacement quickly?

We have found that larger RV centers have these in stock and at lower prices locally - we call 1st to save a trip.

Hope this helps

Ace Hardware in Friday Harbor had one last year. Seemed to be a standard item.

Found the exact replacement last year for our 1994 4788 at Wall Mart on the RV isle.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Found perfect hose match at McLendons Hardware Store. The only problem I had was that the tiny black plastic fitting on top of the facet fixture came out with the hose (it has a necked down quarter inch threaded section that fits into the facet fixture). It had never been out of the boat since new. When removed from the hose, it was clear the Bayliner factory cross threaded the larger threads that connect to the hose and had siliconed it in place. Purchased brass fittings to replace the plastic fitting, but MeLendons came through with a die that I was able to borrow/use (with their help and tools) at their counter to recut/repair the plastic threads. If that doesn't work or leaks I still have the brass backup but it will not look as nice or original. As boating issues go this was about as minor as they get. Fortunately 47s have two showers so there is always a backup.

FWIW - That plastic water flow limiter piece was also available at the RV stores as we bought one as well as a backup.

Hope this helps
