I’ve got a leak somewhere in the hose running along starboard side and it looks to be original. thank you Capt. J
I have a 6' length of 3/8" threaded rod I use to get hoses and wires back into and through tight places/spaces. Just Wrap tape around your hose , wire or whatever ever , to the end of the threaded rod and poke, push away. It works well because the rod is fexable to bend and form into shape yet firm enough for press froward with your hose/wire to get to the other side such as a bulkhead or under your birth as you mentioned .
