Molded Ell for domestic H2O line?

My starboard water tank's outlet is pointing directly at a bulkhead that's just three inches from the tank wall. To no surprise, the 3/4" hose exiting the tank has kinked at the bend and restricts flow to/from the tank.

The system is working, albeit not too well. To reach this outlet, I had to take out my diesel stove and pull the wiring from the charger plus some locker shelving. I'd sure like to take care of this while it's exposed and have the tank work properly. I discovered this while doing other work.

Does anyone make a molded Ell hose in smaller sizes that's suitable for potable water? I could then connect the hose using a barb x barb coupler. I've seen many such molded ells on engines but am pretty sure the black rubber is not suitable for domestic water use.

Thanks in advance.

I think you mean something like this?:

[Edit] - nope, on re-read you mean a molded hose elbow, don't know of those in this setting[/Edit]

That's a Home Depot/Ace Hardware/Bunnings/Hammer&Wikan/McMaster-Carr item. Should be able to source in PVC, Brass, or Stainless. Maybe bronze if you really tried. Same elbow is available with threads on one side that might screw into your tank fitting depending on what that it, saves having the short section of hose between the tank and the elbow.

Like this one but 90⁰ instead of the180⁰ pictured, and suitable for potable water.
