During my oil change today I noticed that one of my bilge hoses was disconnected from the breather fitting. It was actually wedged behind one of the larger hoses and didn't seem to have enough length to reconnect without re-routing. Strange.

So do the other end of these hoses just lay in the bottom of the hull?

Someone must have worked on your ski in that area. I have 3 skis like that with the same same up. The oldest one is 9 years old and it has neve come off by itself. There is no clamp holding the hose to the plasctic piece on the top. It's just a slip-fit type but won't come of by itself. No big deal, just put it back on.

No, the other end of hoses do not just lay on the bottom. They are connected to the plastic strainer on the hull floor.

15fs and even 250s are notorious for loose hoses
