you can also get Copper Tube x Pex Barb fittings and use the pex clamps.  It's a smaller, cleaner fitting in my opinon.

I'm about to switch my whole boat over to pex for the water supply

Another choice for connectors are Flair-It connectors.   They are inexpensive, require no special tools, and easy to work with.    I purchased these connectors at an Ace Hardware store.

Take a look the write up on replacing the plumbing on my LF38.

Hello everyone:
I have a bit of an issue on my 1973 C&C 30 Mark 1. my forward water tank underneath the v-berth has two small pieces of copper pipe protruding from the tank, originally it had a hose attached to it that would lead to the pump and the faucets. I would like to change out the hose to PEX tubing, but I cannot figure out what size pex fitting to use. I have tried 3/8 15mm 1/2 inch with no success. Has anyone ever tried this or have any suggestions on what to do.
Any help is greatly appreciate it.

Cheers
Tom
