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. Rob Abbott AZURA C&C 32- 84 Halifax, N.S.
