What diameter hose are you using, and does this go all the way aft to the Whale Gusher? Not sure if it is better to pull the smaller diameter hose through then entire length, or just splice a section with adapters through the "hidden bilge" area.

Bill,
I have been thinking about this and I am not sure which is best. I am of the mindset that I want a single hose to reduce points of failure however my Gusher pump will not handle the smaller hose so I will have a "step-up" anyway. I am not sure what the difference would be to that vs. grafting in a smaller run just through the old hose except the failure point would be more accessible if it was next the pump rather than down in the cabin.
I think the new hose is 1 1/8th. I will measure it while I am on the boat today since this is on my to-do list for the weekend.
