    Paul,

    How deep were the cracks in the picture? I notice a heat blanket near the hose. Typically, the outside finish on heavy-duty hoses is mostly cosmetic, a thin wrap for appearance. The inner rubber compounds provide the heavy-duty service needed for the application.

    That said, if you see cracks, replacement is definitely needed. A smooth outer finish can be helpful when installing through tubes, etc.
