I just bought a 1999 Carver 530 Voyager and am new to this forum. The forward bilge pump discharge hose is brittle and broken, therefore the pump just recirculates the water in the bilge. Access to the hose, which is too brittle to clamp a splice to, is impossible without cutting a hole underneath the drawer at the foot of the master stateroom bed. I did that but the hose is obviously shot and needs to be replaced for it's entire length. Therein lies the problem. It can't be pulled out and I tried running an electrician's wire snake through but it only goes 4-5' before hitting a snag, probably a bend in the line. Has anyone encountered this and found a way to replace that hose? The easiest would be to connect it to the grey water system but I called the factory and they said that wasn't a good idea.
Thanks, Chris
