Seastar Hoses for a 22’ Seafarer

There was a brass 3/8 comp to 3/8 comp fitting in the bilge around where my oil tanks are. From that point back all plastic.

My copper went directly to helm. We disconnected there cut and crimped hose and pulled from bilge. My hose did not start to leak until we pulled new cables for new motor control. It was very brittle in my 30 yr old boat.

I have crimped the copper by the helm. There has been no fluid in these hoses I’m assuming for years. I’m going to disconnect them from the junction from where they connect to the plastic hoses that go to the motor and attempt to pull it out and as long that I t’s not connected anywhere else, it should be easy. I’ll then measure the copper line. I’ll also add plastic lines from that junction to the motor.

This has been very helpful, thank you.

Norcoastal, do you still have your bulkheads out? If so, should be easy to pull the lines out the front.

I do. That makes sense. Thank you. I’ll try this weekend. My new helm is scheduled to arrive Friday so I have a lot to do this weekend. Looking forward to getting back down there.
