Bilge Pump Hose

[kru1]

BS! Take your pump to Lowe's or home depot. Go to the aisle where they have all of the clear plastic tubing. Find the size it doesn't quite want to fit in. But X feet. Done!

While you are there, buy an adaptor with a threads on one end and push-fit on the other. Buy a threaded cap (the open-ended kind for compression fittings) to fit it, then go over the the electrical aisle and find the large-diamter steel nut they use to hold conduit in electrical boxes that fits the thread also.

tubing + through-hull fitting under $15 all in one place, and you know it all fits. I've got the whole saw you need to make the right size hole in the royalex.

That was it. Got everything at the (north) Lowes near the mall. I was able to get the 1" inner diameter hose over 1- 1/8" nipple on the pump.

I have a two pump system so double of everything (5' of hose), and a $10.00 1-1/2" hole saw bit my total was just under $24.00. Pretty simple.

VINDICATION!

Some zip ties will finish it off if you need a slightly tighter fit on the tubing.
