BMW D7 exhaust hose

Does anyone know the dimensions for the exhaust hose. I thinks it is 2 inches on the outside and 1 1/2 on inside and about 12 feet long.
My hose is leaking and I am not near the boat. Any suggestions on a type or brand of hose.
Thanks

packing size for stuffing box?

I am a new 7.9 owner and my new old boat was been out of the water for a few years. I would like to repack the stuffing box and have not found any info on the packing size . The 1982 boat is very original with the standard 7.5 engine. Does anyone know the packing size?
