[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 520534, member: 22613"] I'm not sure if your questions were answered about the hoses and fittings. I'd leave the rubber hoses be. The plastic ribbed stuff is okay on bilge pumps, but definitely not for the livewells. If you do replace it, go to a hardware store and get some of the braided vinyl hose. Heater hose works too but is more expensive and prone to kinking. Most plastic thru-hulls are not rated for use below the waterline. Be aware of that. Bronze is always a good choice. [/QUOTE]
