Peggie mentioned that lifetime waranty hose and said she would go with the track record over the new product. Meaning the Trident has been tried and true for many years. It is $9.92/ft. at Go2Marine.com for the black stuff. They don't appear to have the white version.
---------- Original Message ---------- From: Michael Brown <m...@tkg.ca> To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Stus-List Sanitation Hose Recommendation Date: Fri, 25 Oct 2013 13:48:16 -0400 I spoke to Peggie Hall last night and she asked; "Do you have anything against black hoses?" I said, "Not really." She said "oh good! use the trident 101 hoses. I don't know of a single case where they have ever had a permeation issue." I see a few choices at West Marine, Shields or Sealand brands instead of Trident. 1) Shields Series 101 No-Odor Super Head Hose 1 1/2" is $11.92 a foot Warranty: One year 2) Shields Poly X Sanitation Hose 1 1/2" is $21.62 a foot Warranty: Lifetime warranty against odor permeation 3) Sealand OdorSafe Plus Sanitation Hose 1 1/2" is $12.49 a foot Warranty: Five-year limited warranty For the five or six feet of hose I need ( C&C 30-1 ) the cost differential between the hoses is not a big issue. If the Shields Series 101 is a recommended hose and will last another 10 years that would be my first choice. I have a white hose installed, maybe 10 years old now and a small amount of odor is present after a few days away. Mike Brown Windburn C&C 30-1 PS: We did a real man overboard recovery a couple of years ago returning from a race. The boat ahead of us lost a crew member relieving himself. We did the stuff by the book, spotter - lifesling ready - depowered quick stop method - put out the ladder. In fact it was a bit too quick. The MOB took a moment at the ladder, we asked if everything was OK? He said he was putting the little admiral away. Explained how difficult it was trying to swim and operate a zipper "safely" with one hand.
