Need coupler hose for '96 XP800

Hi, I'm brand spanking new to this. Next weekend I will be heading out to hopefully bring home a '96 Sea Doo XP800. I wanted to pick up a coupler hose to test it out before dragging it home.

The manual says I need a 295500099 but all I can find locally is a 295500258. Is the 258 backward compatible with a 099 ?
Are they all rather generic and interchangeable?

If not, any suggestions as to where online I can get the $20 part for less than $40 shipping and have it by the 24th?

Thanks

Mark

home depot...

go there, and get "t" fitting sizes 1/4 or 3/8...then get yourself a hose attachment, and fit a barb fitting to it. get a piece of tube, connect it between the barb fitting of hose connector and top of "t" fitting. Then when at boat/ski, look'n from the back end, the hose on right side at top of motor, cut that in half, and install the "t" fitting there. Now hook hose up and run'er...:cheers:

While that's a great idea Tim, I've a feeling for a test, the current owner may not be thrilled about me cutting his hose. What would really be nice is a T with a valve that would cut off flow to the exhaust when you selected the hose hookup flow => end the need for the hose clamp as well :hurray:

In case anyone else stumbles upon this, I found a place that told me that 295500099 and 295500258 were in fact interchangeable. I ordered it. If it ends up otherwise I will post again, otherwise assume that it worked.

It will work. Here's a pic of what you need.
