Seaquest Balance inflator hose replacement.

Hello,

My inflator hose on my Balance cracked this morning and I need to replace it. I've had a hard time finding a parts source anywhere online. Unfortunately/fortunately I'm in Roatan for a month and shipping and sourcing anything here is rather difficult.

Questions: Can I replace this part? Is there another option? Will I have to buy the entire assembly or just the hose section? It is an air2 version from 2006 or 2007.

Your prompt reply is appreciated.

Thanks very much Tom, well appreciated. Guess I'm heading to West Bay.

Are you talking about the corrugated hose between the inflator valve and the shoulder fitting? This part is likely fairly generic - find one new or used that has the same diameter and approximate length.

I ended up finding a used one. The problem with my particular hose is that it has all kinds of different non-standard sizes, and it is built from 3 sections. Not the easiest thing to source in the third world. In the end replacing the entire component and buying a new hose was the only real option in my time frame. When I get home I'll replace the 10 inch section that cracked and have my air source back.

Thanks everyone.
