On my 32, the bilge hose discharge thru hull is just above the water
line under the transom, port side.....not sure about the 41.....it had
to be low to the water line for a following sea to push water back in to
siphon to the bilge.
Can you cut a new hole, can't see why not However, with the proper
precautions, I see no reason to go to that extreme. Mine has a high
loop and a check valve.
However, if the thru hull ever broke, my boat would sink.....I can't get
easy access to it to plug it.

Both these stories would seem to suggest bilge hose discharge ports
low on the boats' transoms - is that true? If so that would seem a
slightly risky location for discharge ports, as the stories bear out.
In that situation is it possible to change the location of the
discharge port, as in cut a new hole for a through-hull high up on the
boat's quarter, and patch the old hole on the boat's transom?
Cheers,
Randy
