Replacing the bilge system on an Island Packet 40 requires running three new 1.5-inch bilge hoses from the bilge through the galley and companionway to the cockpit locker.Watch The owners install a Rule Gold 3700 electric pump, a Whale Gusher manual pump, a secondary electric pump, and an Ultra Safety Systems Pump Switch Jr. to improve offshore safety.1:09 To route the hoses through inaccessible areas, the crew attaches new hose to old hose using a wooden dowel and screws, pulling the assembly through the boat's internal structure.4:04 After struggling with tight clearances, they use a 4-inch hole saw to enlarge an existing opening in the cockpit locker to facilitate the run.13:07 The project fails when the crew cuts the hoses to length before accounting for the necessary anti-siphon loops, requiring them to reorder materials and restart the installation.18:32 Proper planning for anti-siphon loops is essential when installing new bilge pump discharge lines.
