It may be a problem for some. How to store that hose pipe, Either on the dock or in the boat. I had seen the Flexie hose on TV but could only find it in a 25' length. After searching the web for a few days I found the ansure to my problem. They do make a 50' hose and its under $20. Comes with adaptors, nozel, and a reel. It stows in a small flat space. (((One caution))) the water you run through this hose can not be used for drinking or cooking. I never use my water tank for those purposes anyway. So here are the pictures of this product. Its available from several souces including E bay. <img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b2d626b3127cce9f241b0338be0000001410" border=0><img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b2d626b3127cce9f241b00b98d0000001410" border=0><img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b2d626b3127cce9f241b0138bc0000001410" border=0>

1) Yes the entire hose must be unrolled to use it otherwise its like crimping the line.

2) There is a caution on the container stating not to use this hose for drinking water. I expect there is either a chemical used when manufacturing that leaches into the water OR there is a chemical in the materials used.

No mater to me. Now I wont have a hose laying about on the dock.
