Somewhere I suspect I have a leak in my bilge pump hose (after the pump runs, the water returns). So, it's likely time to replace the hose.
All the replacement hose I can find (Amazon, eBay, West Marine etc.) seems to be the ribbed style. I suspect the ribbed hose is more flexible? But wouldn't the pump be more efficient if the hose were smooth?
Or does this really matter when I'm pumping about 12-14 feet horizontally with a rise of no more than abouit 2 feet?
