Generator exhaust hose repair

The wire reinforced exhaust hose from the generator has deteriorated where it attaches to the thru hull, about 4 inches of the hose, the rest of the hose seems fine. Is there a way to effectively patch the hose? Replacing it would be a bear the way it is routed from the muffler up inside the hull down and out the thru hull obviously on the outside of the engine. Would something like 'Flex Tape' work?

flex tape may work for a temporary patch but I'd doubt it will last long....you'd really be better off replacing the entire length of hose...and use good (S/S) hose clamps...
