It should be 3/4 inch--just look at the hose outlet and you will know. As far as length, do you want it to drape to the ground or hang a couple feet above the ground? In the old days, they put a hose on the pump that would best suit their needs and you should do the same. There are no rules when it comes to hose length!

or hang a couple feet above the ground? On a 996! LOL The 996 Only stands approx. 5ft. He will only need a 3ft hose. Suppose he could wrap it around the pump a few times IF it were longer!

If you are not going to attach the hose recoil clamp & cable a 6 foot 3/4" hose is perfect. If you are going to use the recoil clamp and cable I would use a 8 or 10 foot x 3/4" hose. Like the guys said you don't want the hose laying on the ground.
