Here's a mod to the manual bilge pump hose for a C250WB.
The water-ballast has the bilge behind the stairs.
The hose is loose and never ends up at the deepest part of the bilge.
I added a 1-inch elbow and the red hose.
The hose a now a snug fit between the liner and the hull.
The down side is when heeling, the hose is no longer in the deepest part.
I don't have to pump the bilge much anyway and I only pump when the boat is level.

Nice mod Russ, I keep repositioning the hose end jambing it between the top of the bilge area, but it always shakes free. Your's is a simple and efective solution == Like it!

Bumped!
Took just 10 mins to implement this mod. It does exactly as described. Russ, KUDOS!
