Launched my new to me C-27 tall rig this weekend. At first it seemed like the stuffing box was dripping quite a bit as the bilge collected about a gallon of water in a few hours and continued. That was yesterday. Today it seemed to still be leaking. I had to move a lot of stuff out of the quarter berth today and see that the stuffing box looks fine. There is a clear vinyl hose in the engine compartment that seams to have no purpose other than to leak water. The hose is about 2" in dia. and blocked at one end and loops around the muffler and the other end terminates somewhere behind the muffler on the port side. I can't see any use for this hose. Could it be a fill hose for the water tank and replaced with a new one? Can't see very well under all the stuff in the lazarette and between all the bulkheads and liners.
Any ideas on what this hose is?
