Brian, Are you referring to the hose for the manual bilge pump “Gusher” that is in the cockpit?
On my 1980 C&C34 the electric bilge pump outlet hose (3/4”) runs through the cabinetry in the head to the outlet just below the toe rail. The manual bilge pump outlet hose (1.5”) runs under the engine and loops up to the Gusher in the cockpit on the starboard side. I replaced my manual bilge pump hose this spring. The previous owner had used sanitary waste line, which was really stiff and had cracked. I just used corrugated sump pump drainage hose from a hardware store. I am happy to send photos if that helps.
