Upgrade to a DE Marine Washdown Assembly and Stop the Hassle.
If you’ve owned a boat for more than one season, you already know the truth: most washdown hoses don’t survive real marine life.
They kink.
They stiffen.
They become sun-baked, salt-crusted, or permanently twisted after a few weekends on the water.
And by the time you’re doing your first big rinse-down next season… it’s already time to replace them again.
At DE Marine, we built our polyurethane reinforced Washdown Hose Assembly specifically to solve that exact problem, and to withstand the punishment that boating, sun, salt, and constant flexing bring.
Why Standard Hoses Fail So Quickly
Most hoses sold at retail stores or packaged with washdown pumps are made from low-grade rubber or PVC. That’s fine for a garden.
But on the water? They face challenges they weren’t designed for:
- UV exposure breaks them down fast.
- Abrasion from docks, decks, and hardware scuffs and wears holes.
- Kinking disrupts flow (and creates weak points).
- Salt buildup stiffens and cracks the material.
- Fuel and chemical exposure causes swelling or soft spots.
You end up buying the same cheap hose again and again, which costs more in the long run and creates frustration every time you use it.
Meet the DE Marine Washdown Hose Assembly
Designed specifically for marine environments, this hose was engineered to last season after season, even under heavy use.
What makes it better?
Polyurethane Reinforcement
Stronger than PVC and rubber.
Withstands constant flexing.
Resists kinking even when wrapped tightly or stored in small lockers.
CPC Quick-Disconnect
Connect or disconnect in seconds.
Full shut-off capability prevents unwanted sprays.
Makes switching from hose to other accessories fast and clean.
Marine-Grade Resistance
The hose is engineered to resist:
- UV rays
- Abrasion
- Fuel
- Oil
- Chemicals
- Fungus
- Saltwater
This means less degradation, fewer leaks, and no cracking mid-season.
Lightweight With a Small Bend Radius
Easy to handle, even for younger boaters or onboard guests.
You don’t have to fight with it.
It bends, moves, and coils easily without adding weight to the aft deck.
Full-Flow Internal Diameter
9/16” OD × 3/8” ID ensures strong water pressure for rinsing off:
- Fish boxes
- Mud, sand, seaweed
- Salt spray
- Deck grime
- Anchor chains
- Fender scuffs
You get the pressure you paid for, without the typical hose restriction.
Why a Marine-Grade Hose Is Worth the Upgrade
Replacing hoses every season costs you time and money.
But upgrading to a properly engineered washdown assembly means:
- Better flow
- Longer service life
- Less frustration
- Easier handling
- Cleaner deck maintenance
- More reliable dockside cleaning
And let’s be honest… a hose that doesn’t kink is one of the small joys of boat ownership.
