I am going to build new lines to and from my oil filter on my 41 with 235. The question is, what should, or what would be the best material to use? Copper tube? Rubberized wire mesh, or whatever it is called. Or? Dave

You don't want to use copper Dave, it will eventually fatigue
from vibration. If it's mounted ridged on the engine you could
use Steel lines, but originally it would have flexible
hydraulic hoses. You've been around the 'bolt long enough that
I'm sure you've seen the many discussions and illustrations on
how they were plumbed in to the Stovebolt sixes.
The later is definitely the way I would go.
