What size is the plastic drain line on my Hunter 18.5? I need to replace it since mine has sprung a leak. Thanks.

Just an off the wall, old school thought.
Take the offensive piece of caca and take it to a store to match up the parts and get identical replacements or near identical ones?
Is it possible to remove the offending drain line. Leaky drain lines do not belong on a boat.

Thanks. I appreciate your input. It’s always frustrating to have a leak in a place that is hard to get to. Bill

No question Bill. I have a bilge that is over 5 ft deep. The previous owner spilled all sorts of who knows what into it. I am down to 6-8 Inches from the bottom. And cleanup is going slowly.
I just remind myself -- smile your working on a boat... Your boat.
It is better then sitting in an office staring at a computer screen.

I am replacing some of my above the waterline thru-hulls, and have found digital calipers to be very handy for meaning the hose size, hole size, etc. I also use them to check line sizes when ordering new running rigging.
Pretty inexpensive at Harbor Freight or similar tool store.

@billwnc
You could call the forum store and ask them to review “THE BUILD LIST FOR THE 18.5” and refer to it as the cockpit drain hose to see if that list shows which size hose.
Information on the 18.5 can be found under boat info/Hunter resources/18.5. The keel was referred to as the wing bulb keel. Former dealer who introduced that boat for Hunter and purchased the last one built.
Also you may have either a Kenyon Isomat or Z Spar mast but you should be able to find a mfg sticker either on the mast or boom. If z Spar, go to either forum store or US Spars. Feel free to send a private message
