Shower drain hose

[Scott B]

Anyone changed out the hose for the shower drain on a Hunter 38. Still have the original vinyl with the black spiral and has split from age. Not sure how to get at the hose / drain connection uner the floor pan.

It's not fun, but doable... my arm could just reach with the floorboards removed. Heat the hose to get it on the barb. Prepare for boat yoga! It might be possible to release the elbow from the shower pan, remove the drain grate to check. Replace with the best hose possible (usually 10 or 15 yr warranty).

All the sink drains are probably due / overdue as well..... how's the exhaust hose?that's usually the first to go.

I don't trust those glued on cuffs.

Here's the manual for the hunters 38, 2004 to 2010. You didn't say what year you have.

In other words.Can you use a guidline to snake a new hose through without going through your floor boards?

Ok, fair enough.

Looking at the 2008 hunter users manual. It shows a diagram such as: Shower drain>3/4 hose> Filter> 3/4 hose> Shower sump pump> 3/4 hose run through boat hulll.

Not sure how to get at the hose

If the owner can access the sump pump could he not access the hose from the drain to the filter? Or use something to snake in a new hose after unscrewing or pulling out the old hose?

Or as you said it's possible with "boat yoga." I guess that means you did it all by touch and no sight?

From the picture of the shower sump pump, it makes the rest look easy. Is that a fair assumption?
