My E28 is still kind of new to me, so I still have a lot to learn about it.
A 1/2" plastic above the waterline on the starboard side thru-hull cracked off. I don't know that putting it back together the way I found it is the right way. The other plastic thru-hull is a 3/4".
The 1/2" thru-hull had what looked like a bronze cap fastened to it. It looks like a hole was drilled through the cap and there is a small bronze or copper tube inserted into the bronze cap. A small 3/8' or 1/4" hose was attached to tube it with a hose clamp. Water flows through this line and out the thru-hull. I think this is the anti-siphon line. Water flows out of it when the engine is running. Is there a reason that such a small line would go through such a large thru-hull? In the picture below the end of the small line is circled in green. I also have another tube that doesn't go anywhere. It is circled in red. The electric bilge exits out of the 3/4" thru hull to port of the green circle. I'm wondering if that other line is for another bilge pump somewhere and maybe it's supposed to go out of that larger thru-hull.
When I look in the bilge I have an electric bilge pump with the hose that exits the boat, but I have two other hoses. I have no idea where they go or what the box is that resides in the bilge. The documentation that came with the boat doesn't really detail this stuff. Does anyone have a picture or a description of how this is supposed to be set up? What is the big white accordion hose in the bilge for?
I have some pictures of what I have below.
