Replacement of molded hose for closed cooling system

[crieders]

After 34 years it's time to replace the molded hose that comes out of front of engine for closed cooling system and the hose that runs back to the heat exchanger. Where to obtain and size? Thanks

You'll find it under the "101 topics"

If you want to make the lookin' easier just do a search (Ctrl-F on a PC) for "hose" when you have that message open.

I'm presuming that she has an XP.  If you put your engine info in the profile makes it easier to answer questions.

Here is what Ken is referring to:

Engine Coolant Pump Hose 101 - Toyota Part instead of Universal Pricing - the BLACK curvy one under the pump  1" to 7/8"

Cliff : What I did (years ago) is to take that hose to an auto parts store and see if they could match it!! They came back with that Toyota hose!! 

Always give an auto parts store a try before you invest in an expensive Westerbeke part!! (Old Chinese Proverb)   

A few thoughts

Just one more option

One could fab the whole shebag and eliminate the formed hose altogether, using various copper sweat fittings.
The coolant pump inlet is the same size as the OD of a 3/4" female copper sweat fitting and the 7/8" hose to the Hx fits the OD of copper tubing.

This copper fitting shebang was on the OEM bracket but would be the same idea for the Mod bracket.
