Hose

[WaxedElvis]

25ft Grady White W/A, seacock is at the transom, wash down pump is behind the steps in the cabin and the hose between the two is split and leaking.

Does anyone know if it's possible to “snake" hoses (like pulling wire) under a deck or will I have to pull the deck up? Could I attach new hose to old and pull it through like that?

there's no reason that you can't snake it thru. as you don't know why it split, it could be that its rubbing against an edge.
if possible, it would be better to re-route the hose maybe under a gunnel, then you can make sure that the run is clean.

depending on the tube diameter, try a multibraid poly, good for temp & pressure.

sure you can snake it. one way is to insert a small wood dowl to join the new and old hose, drill both and wire them together.

I thought this was another Imus thread!

Maybe you can snake it. There may be tie-straps along the route, securing the hose. If so, it won't be so easy. But I'd sure try it before pulling up the deck.
