1984 Bayliner 1510 Fish and Ski

[MWBROWN]

This boat has a front and rear live/bait well system. The front well's hoses are gone. I cannot see a way to run new hoses. Do I need to take the front and rear decks off to do this? I think they are screwed down. If I take off the decks, what kind of can-of-worms might I open up.
The boat has been garaged all of its life, and is in excellent condition, so I don't think there is any rotting. It still has the original carpeting.

Thanks in advance for any help.

no one can guess that open it up and see what's there. being garaged is good, but how much water did it take on when in use. the vintage is known for rot. but hopefully your lucky. is so keep her dry,

could you possibly "sleeve" in smaller hoses inside your existing one ?

To Tashasdaddy, Thanks for the feedback. The boat was operated on small lakes, so I ASSUME that the amount of water was limited. When I have it out, it take on no water in 6 hours of fishing. I was hopeful that some one knew how these boats were put together.

To Yacht Dr., I thought of that, but there is only one piece that I can see that goes under the floor. Nice suggestion, Thanks.

I had thought of running a snake or wire through and tieing it to a 3/8 or 1/2 hose, and pulling it through, and then the 3/4 hose tied to that. Maybe it would knock the old remaining hose pieces out of the way.

Thanks for any information.

you've got the right idea trying to get a snake thru. you don't have to have the 3/4 line, just reduce the fittings. as long as you get water.
