I thought deck fittings were standard 1.5in for waste, but I could be wrong. That happens a lot. I do know on mine, the hoses would not easily go on any fitting. I used a heat gun on low setting to soften the hose. Add a very thin coating of silicone lubricant, and the hose went on with ease. Don, #6293, Niceville, FL

I did consider replacing the deck fitting but it has become very attached to the boat and doesn't want to leave. Any thoughts about getting the fitting lose or attaching the hose?
