For all the information on head maintenance and hose replacement look up the
Sailboats Owners forum and look for Peggy Hall’s special forum. If you can’t
find the information there, it does not exist (or you don’t need it).
Alternatively buy her book. I bet it is worth every penny.

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.

Raritan makes the most flexible sanitary hose I have seen.

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.

Recently I had to remove the discharge hose from the head to clear it out.
It had developed a crystalline growth that had clogged up with other stuff.
After I literally 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.
