I have a 282 sailfish and at some point the hose for the shower in the head has been replaced with a shorter hose. You cant pull it out far enough to hang it on the hook to use it as intended. Other than going through Grady does anyone know of a source for a full length replacement to get mine back to OEM spec?? Thanks in advance for the assistance.

I just did a full replacement on my 1995 272 Sailfish with this Whale replacement pack - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000FHETKU?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

It's a different model number since the original for my '95 is no longer made, but it just took grinding out the sink hole to be fractionally bigger to fit the larger intake ends, and a couple 1/4" male barb to 1/2" female threaded adapters, like this linked here (though I grabbed mine at Lowes) - https://www.amazon.com/EDGE-INDUSTRIAL-Female-Straight-Fitting/dp/B07CTCZVDF?th=1

Hope this was helpful!

Maybe a dumb question but did you check under the sink that the hose is not hanging up on something?
