yep.. check em over.. look for damage tot he rubber sheath.. IE.. metal innerds sticking out. they will rust fas tthat way.
look for kinking, or bulgeing.. loose dripping fittings.. a weeping fitting will collect dust.. and look dirty.
in chaff areas, use something like wire loom or fire hose, or similar ' netting style hose loom material to protect them.. bundle hoses with zip ties to keep them from snagging.. just make sure they have room to move at a pivot...watch pinch points and edges or flanges they may abraid on.. use a piece of split rubber line on the metal flange, held on with contact cement or zip ires..
I save old radiator hoses to cut pieces to use as zip tie bandaids to put on a hose where it may contact metal..
