Amazon vs marine chandlers

(1/3) > >>

TheOldDuffer:
I’d bought a bilge pump from Amazon. It cost me £20. I then popped into the local chandlers to get some 29 mm ID corrugated tubing. They had all sizes but 29 mm. This despite the fact that they sold the exact same pump, taking 29mm tubing. At €68.

I’m still looking for some 29mm tubing!

Rob Johnstone:
Ah, but what was the provenance of the one on Amazon?

TheOldDuffer:
It looked exactly the same bar a slight difference in the outlet connector.

Still looking for 29mm hose

They’re all made in China, whatever the brand.

eBay is usually quite good for various diameters of hose.

You can have any diameter you want as long as it's not 29mm  :'(
