I'm just in the process of replacing all the hoses for the head and fuel fill
due to permeation. I've got some of that old boat smell happening and I'm
attacking whatever might be involved. I used the Trident 101 & 102 hose (only
difference is one is white and one is black). It is pretty stiff and a little
hard to deal with but, from what I've read, it's the best at fighting
permeation. I managed to get all the old hoses removed and all the new 1-1/2
inch stuff re piped this weekend. I also added some PVC pipe to raise the pump
out hose connection above the tank. It was an exercise in contortion-ism and
patients but, at least the hard part is done. I did use a heat gun and dish
soap the help get the hose on the barbs. You could also use some boiled water
as someone here suggested to me. I just happened to have a heat gun so I tried
that first and it worked well. Now, I just have to add the vent outlets to the
tank and the vent lines to the 2 new thru-hull vent fittings! Sanitation Hose
is not cheap. If it is, it probably doesn't control odor very well. Google
PegHall and sanitation hose. She has the nickname of the Headmistress. She is
the leading authority on all thing marine head related and has posted all over
many boating forums on marine sanitation issues. Danny

Raritan makes the most flexible sanitary hose I have seen. Joel

The stuff you took out is probably exhaust hose. C&C seemed to use it
everywhere back in the day. You local marine supply store can sell you an
appropriate sanitary hose that will be mush easier to work with and that will
be impermeable to odours - assuming you tighten the clamps properly. Borrow a
heat gun to make the stuff more pliable when required.

remove the discharge hose from the head to clear it out. It had developed a

beat the crap out of it to clear it, I was unable to get it back up behind the
toilet as it was to stiff and difficult to work back in place with the anti
syphon valve. Disassembling it from the valve was not workable, as I could not
reach it to reassemble. I am looking for advise on another hose that is more
plyable than the rubber and coiled wire hose that I took out. Fred HazzardS/V
