Re: Corrugated hose or smooth for bilge pumps?
The corrugated hoses for bilge pumps that I've seen are smooth on the inside. The corrugations keep the hose from being easily kinked and/or crunched reducing the volume of the hose. Nothing will decrease flow more than having a heavy object flatten it or a kink.
