I can feel a hose clamp at the connection of the 90 degree fitting at the well. Loosening and or tightening this clamp could be done, but not very easily from what I can see. The thru hull fittings on the side are a question mark to me. Any advice on how the hose is connected on that end, how easily does the fitting disassemble?
Is there an easy fix for this? Im hesitant to start messing with it too much, as even though it isn't working, it isn't leaking either.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Thanks.
George

Sorry, can't figure how to edit first post. I meant to add a picture of the thru hull fitting

It should be clamped to the thru hull fitting the same way as the one you can feel. I recommend using a nut driver to remove and tighten those clamps where you can't see whats going on, as doing it with a screwdriver is nearly impossible.

Yup, you should see a hose clam on the other side of this skupper holding the hose to the skupper.
It is very hard to get under there but it can be done if your not scared of very very very tight spaces. Just stick your head far down in the bilge access and look to the directon of the scupper.
Like freezerfiller saiduse a nut driver, or a socket driver with an extension and a universal joint to get to it.
hope this helps!

I'm assuming that there is a special wrench to undo this scupper? Any idea where to find it or what it's called?

are you trying to take the scupper out? First question i will ask is why?
If so, you are going to need alot more than a wrench.... the scupper is sealed to the deck.
Having said that, if the scupper was not sealed then to get it out you have to get to the inside of it which screws into the outside end of the scupper and compresses the whole thing to the fiberglass from each side with sealer in the middle so no water leaks into the bilge from that hole.
If you have a problem with the hose and you are trying to take the scupper off to remove the hose then your thinking the wrong way. The hose clamp holding that hose to the scupper is within an inche of where you need to be to remove the scupper.
I will be down by mine tonight wiring and will take a picure for you.

Thank you for the help. From what I remember (I'm at work right now) there is no good way to get my hand on the scupper end of this drain hose. That is why I was thinking the scupper had to be removed some how.

Your 100% right in there not being a good way. When i go down to take a picture for you i will have someone take a picture of me down in the bilge, lol that will give you a good laugh and i never knew a shoudler could support my whole body.
Buy you basically have to shove yourself down into the bilge access to get there then use a long tool to get to it.

Can you not just remove the clamp you can access and shorten or twist the hose to where it no longer kinks, and put it back on?
