When it comes to boating essentials, a hose might not be the first thing that comes to mind. But if you’ve ever wrestled with a stiff, heavy, kink-prone hose while filling up your fresh water tank, or worse, tasted plastic in your water, you know exactly how important it is to get this choice right.
Enter the Armor-Strength Marine Water Hose from DE Marine.
This isn't your average garden hose. It’s a lightweight, reinforced, drinking water-safe workhorse built specifically for marine life. Here’s why it belongs on your dock or deck.
Built for Boaters, Not Backyards
Let’s start with the basics: most hoses you find at hardware stores simply aren’t made for life at sea.
DE Marine’s 75′ Armor-Strength Marine Hose is designed from the ground up to meet the unique demands of boating. That means:
- Drinking water-safe materials (no BPA, no weird taste)
- UV-resistant construction that won’t crack in the sun
- Non-marring outer surface that protects your boat’s gelcoat
- Tough yet flexible build that’s easy to handle, even in tight spaces
Whether you’re filling a water tank, rinsing off salty decks, or washing up after a long day on the water, this hose is ready to work.
What Makes It “Armor-Strength”?
It’s all in the materials.
This hose features:
- A reinforced polyurethane core, lightweight but incredibly strong
- Nylon webbing for added durability and resistance to abrasion
- An internal construction that resists kinks and tangles
- Crush-proof brass fittings that stand up to life on the dock
And despite all that ruggedness? It’s still 50% lighter than traditional marine hoses. That means no more hauling dead weight around the marina or fighting a stiff coil that refuses to unwind.
🧠 Did you know? Polyurethane hoses like this one can last 3–5x longer than rubber or vinyl alternatives in marine environments.
Safe for Drinking. Safe for Everyone.
Water that tastes like rubber? No thanks.
This hose is certified drinking water-safe, making it the perfect solution for:
- Filling fresh water tanks
- Connecting to dockside potable water
- Use around kids and pets on board
No odors, no chemical leaching, and no compromise.
Designed for the Dock and Deck
Sun, salt, and repeated coil-uncoil routines take a toll on standard hoses. But the Armor-Strength Marine Hose is:
- UV-stabilized to prevent drying or cracking
- Flexible even in cold temps, unlike many hoses that stiffen up
- Non-toxic and low-friction, so it won’t scuff or stain surfaces
Whether you're docked in a slip or anchored offshore, this hose stays soft, safe, and ready to go.
A Smart Upgrade for Every Boat Owner
If you’re still using a standard backyard hose on your boat, here’s what upgrading to Armor-Strength gets you:
- Lighter handling with full 75' reach
- No more kinks, leaks, or pressure drops
- Peace of mind knowing your water is safe
- A hose built to last season after season
This hose also stores neatly, coils easily, and fits most standard hose reels—no extra adaptors needed.
