Hi again LBrown59,
Note- sorry if I got your handle wrong on earlier posts.
Also, at home improvement centers, check out the plumbing section for a variety of wide hoses that could be cut to length as needed. Some of the hoses are nylon reinforced too, such as the hose for trash-water pumping. Use a soldering iron or other heat source to seal the loose threads on the hose after cutting and you should be good to go.
Let me know how that fares for you.
